B-2 Bomber Crashed

[BIG JOE]

they use him as an example of what not to be like for training now.

As it Should Be. IMO

I was stationed at FAFB working in the WSA at the time too.
It was a sight and smell never to be forgotten

Been on more than a few Crash/Recovery's myself. Seemed like once I was on one, a tic mark was made somewhere.

Not fond memories. But....

You're right, I had forgotten about that one. But none the less, the pilot crashed that one. I knew the guy back around 1980. He went one on to be a reckless and dangerous pilot doing things that went way beyond what was safe.

There was nothing wrong with that airplane. The jackass in the pilot seat killed himself and took at least 2 others with him.

on edit: You can see in this YouTube B-52 video, how dangerous this jackarse was. There are many examples of flyovers at too low altitudes, excessive bank angles, excessive climb angles and even in one steep climb, it appears he does a barrel roll just as he's disappearing into the clouds. If that idiot tried any of that crap while I was on the same airplane, I would have buried the pointy end of the escape axe in his helmet.

nonetheless, I find it amazing what that aircraft is and is not capable of
