I was the last gunner to fly in a buff. When I flew 'D' models during Arc Light I was always amazed how much the wings would bend upward in a turn--About 15 to 20 feet if you were dodging a SAM and 'bending' it. This and the C-130 are probably the 2 most reliable aircraft made.
I got shot up in a 130 but not shot down.
