You’re in the pilot seat with Jim Hooppaw, retired colonel of the United States Air Force, as he recalls his twenty-six years in the Strategic Air Command and takes you where the BUF fellows roamed. His personal
observations, reflections, and often humorous misadventures make this a delightful read for those who were there . . . and a fascinating read for those who weren’t. He poses the questions: What does BUF really mean? If peace were our profession, why did they keep sending us to war? Did Mount St. Helens really make an ash of herself? Strap yourself in, hold your breath in anticipation, and be prepared to laugh with Jim and the finest men of the SAC who took their roles seriously . . . most of the time!
