And if you were over about 5'7" tall
you'd have to bend over to use the
relief tube to pee or you'd knock your
head on stuff.  100-150 feet off the
deck over the west Texas deserts in
August with a full bladder was  NOT
a fun thing!

EWO on Buffs' eh?  I had the opportunity to go inside a BUFF nose  section
which is on display at the Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, IL.  For  such a 
large
airplane, it's amazing how claustrophobic you can get inside  one...there
were spaces for crew chairs (barely), tight accessways, and the rest  was 
room
for avionics, etc...it almost seemed like manning the airframe was a  second
thought in the design.

My hat's off to the guys who flew them in Nam...
