Bud .. shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.:popcorn::welcome:
 
I remember seeing that B52 crash on the news. It's hard to imagine what in the hell he was thinking, banking so hard as to have his wings go vertical, loosing all lift at low level and low speed. Hot dog or fool is hard to say. Perhaps a little of both.
 
They drummed the lessons from that B-52 crash into us every year from the time it happened to the time I retired in 2000. Every year at refresher class.

That B-52G crashed as a result of gross negligence by the pilot in command. That was outside Spokane, WA at Fairchild AFB, in 1994. The crash killed all on board, and narrowly missed the AF Survival School buildings in the picture. You see that little black mark in the picture? That is one of the crew bailing out of the aircraft - he died, also. The pilot was the squadron commander, and was being supervised by the Wing stan/eval chief. No one wanted to fly with the guy, from what was known at the time, and this was to be his last flight. They were practicing for an upcoming air show.

I have read about this pilot before. He like to push that big bird way beyond it's flight envelope. One would think he wanted to be a fighter pilot.
 
I used to run this bad boy..... Want to talk horsepower? How about 40,000+, and torque in the millions of cubic feet.

Cool pics
He created/implemented Strategic Air Command

At Wright-Patt (12 years there w/ the snoopys) his house on base was turned into a museum.
He was a great warrior, leader and man of vision
