B-52 crash

Video Title :	B-52 crash
Description :	http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered, strategic bomber operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since 1955. Beginning with the successful contract bid on 5 June 1946, the B-52 went through several designs, from a straight wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines, to the final prototype, YB-52 (with 8 engines), which first flew on 15 April 1952 by "Tex" Johnston. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. Although a veteran of a number of wars, the Stratofortress has dropped only conventional munitions in actual combat. With the longest unrefuelled range of any contemporary bomber, the B-52 carries up to 70,000 pounds of weapons. The USAF has had B-52s in active service since 1955 with Strategic Air Command and were later absorbed into Air Combat Command in 1992. Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite proposals to replace it with the Mach 3 XB-70 Valkyrie, supersonic B-1B Lancer and stealthy B-2 Spirit. In January 2005, the B-52 became the second aircraft, after the English Electric Canberra, to mark 50 years of continuous service with its original primary operator.

Volim kad vidim ova americka govna kako ginu.uh

This was terribly sad...I remember it vividly. An ego kills his coworkers, teammates,and parents/sons/husbands.

Yes, it was an egocentric USAF Col. who was known for his "hot dog" antics among co-pilots he flew with. His airmanship skills did not come close to matching the pilot skills he thought he possessed. Unfortunately the idiot took other lives with his own (murder-suicide)... thought you will never see that term in accident investigations. The guy was completely clueless in the low altitude maneuvering limits of the B-53.

Holy shit.

i wonder if anyone was flying that plane/....duh
