The incredible performance of the upgraded engines on the Buff was so great that it could actually carry an aircraft carrier, complete with air wing. Landing was describe as a tad tricky though.

The Navalized version of the B-52 set new standards for RCS growth due to Mod's but did win the Navy's Akron Award for self protection.

"Yes, but a hidden advantage of the Armed Forces Commonality Program was when we folded the wings, they acted like a sail & added 10kts to the carriers speed!"

"Call the Buff!"

***

Ingenious cooperation between the Navy & the Air Force results in the most rapid deployment of a Carrier anywhere in the world! (Ooops! Just read Dunky's. No prizes for second!)

Umm...Sir. I'm gonna need some help with this FOD Sir...
