The BUFF - Big Ugly Fat Fellow
The B-52H BUFF is the biggest and oldest aircraft in use by the USAF and is the only aircraft that can launch the ALCM (Air Launched Cruise Missile).
The B-52 is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds (650 miles per hour) at altitudes up to 50,000 feet (15,166.6 meters), because it is powered by eight engines, combined with a huge pair of wings.
It can carry nuclear or conventional ordnance with worldwide precision navigation capability.
