Comments: Hello fellow gunners! What a great site--lot of familiar names. I was short tail gunner from '79-'85. ' Castle CCTS '79 (Al Marcon was my IG). 69BMS, Loring '79-82, 328BMS as an IG '82-'85. Went to the dark side (commissioned) '85 retired in '96. Been working for Boeing ever since as a Delta II Launch Conductor and most recently transferred to Cape Canaveral as Chief Launch Conductor for Delta IV, Boeing's biggest and newest rocket. Launching rockets is fun, but nothing like flying a BUFF. Sure miss sights and sounds of the best aircraft ever built! Dave, keep up the great work--Cest La Vie!

Comments: I checked out in the F Model at Castle in '71, then G's and D's .... 2 Bullet Shots, 1 Arc Light .... Taught school at the Carswell CCTS until it closed, stood my last alert tour in an H sortie over Christmas '83, then on to other things. I suspect I am the only P111X0 who ever lived....long story. I retired in '88 and am with Texas Instruments now in Ky. Like most of us, I still wake up some mornings listening to 8 engines, tuning up a scope, or giving range and azimuth to the guy behind. It's good to see so many names, some special ones in particular. Thanks for some great memories. Best of luck all. And thank you, Dave. Nice work.

Was lucky enough to put two tours at Wright-Pat and one at Barksdale. Did a couple of tours in Ark Light. I retired after the second tour as they said we were going back again. My wife just could not handle 5 teenagers alone, again. I really missed the flying. I am in the book, if anyone wants to call.

Comments: Former BUFF Co-Pilot @ Plattsburgh (68-71). I know we had gunners, but sure haven't seen any familiar names on the site.e.g, Walt Buchtan, Cal Snapp & my ARC LIGHT guns: Jim Donnelly. Where are you guys? After the war, flew C-7s in AFRES while using GI Bill for law school; then being a masochist, went back in as a JAG and retired in 1993. Would like to hear from Jim Donnelly or learn of his whereabouts. Great site! It was an honor to fly with you guys.

Comments: What a flashback. Good to see someone carring the torch. Wish I could see some familar names in your archive (sadly none). Hit Castle in 73', home base flying G's at 19thBW/28thBS Robins AFB and riding big D's on TDY in Guam and Utapo. Went my merry way in 77'. A guy sportin' stripes in the USAF couldn't have a better job than ridin' tail, that's for sure!!!

Comments: KLAXON KLAXON KLAXON!!! My heart still beats a little faster when I hear that thing go off. Barksdale G's 86-90. got out & got my pilot's licenses and do a little corporate flying, and weekend trips to Key West. But it is nothing like being in the BUFF. I am tearing apart JT8 jet engines and selling the parts to the airlines and overhaul facilities. If you are in Florida drop me a line.
