A really rare and unique opportunity to see this Boeing B-52H Stratofortress, nicknamed the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fella), crabbing sideways on the runway after landing at RAF Fairford. This unique feature of B52 was presented on Sunday 16 July 2023 at the Royal International Air Tatto - RIAT.
The iconic bomber was designed with the ability to swivel its landing gear to balance the effects of crosswinds. This capability allows the B-52 with its narrow wheelbase and large tail to land and crab down the runway in a heavy crosswind conditions.
Fun fact - this crab walk did some damage to the airfield infrastructure, nearly 20 runway lights were destroyed, this may happen when you have an aircraft with large wingspan.
