I was kid living on Andersen AFB, Guam during Linebacker II. My friends and I used to watch the BUFFs take off loaded with bombs in the under wing racks, come back from the missions empty. We learned to tell the different models apart based on the tail profiles.

My father was a Security Police officer and the NCO in charge of flight line security. He used to take me out there to see the aircraft up close whenever I wanted.
