And you never will.

The BUFF is "squeezing the water out of the air" but that is not a supersonic shockwave.

The poor old BUFF would shake itself to death trying to go Mach 1.

BTW it is still a great picture and the only one like it that I have ever seen.

Ouch! My bad. After zooming and looking at the BUFF, I suspect Photo Shop at work.

10-4. I don't believe the B-52 could go Mach + even in a dive. The airframe would come undone, I suspect.

The Buff is tuff, but probably not that tuff.

That's the most interesting V-day graphic I've seen all day. If she doesn't want to be your Sweetie, I will, at least until midnight.

Not happening. The BUFF is tough, but not that tough.
