#1 I thought that BUFF was a reference to a C-130 gunship. BUFF = "Big Ugly Fat F*****". Gotta love the name!

#2 the AC-130 gunship is called "Spectre",BUFF has been reserved for the B-52's for years. Another good one is the FB-111(aardvark)
and my all time favorite is the "bone" bomber or B-1. It got the name because some reporter wrote down b-one, in their notes and didnt notice the mistake when they wrote the article.

#4 Nope, the Vietnam era AC-47 was the original "Puff The Magic Dragon".
