  • These two Giant EDF B-52's have been flying at various Las Vegas RC events for YEARS! One of them crashed a few years ago (In 2014, I think...) and was rebuilt. Not sure if this is the one that had the accident in this video, but it appeared the plane stalled on landing and broke into several pieces....

    I watched a real B-52 crash one morning.
    The Bomber took off from Mather A.F.B. in California near Sacramento. They were practicing Minimum Interval Takeoff's that morning as they had done many times before
    I was out in the corporation yard in my company's old Ford gas truck, fueling up the fleet of office worker's company cars as I did every morning. I had always loved watching the take off and landing B-52's . They were stationed there at the time. In those days they did a lot of M I T O practice I was watching the t hem off and on when i heard one of them really pouring the coals to the throttle The Pilot was trying to climb but was losing altitude. It was realy an unreal twilight kind of feeling watching that giant bomber as it just kept getting closer and closer to the ground . Then a giant fireball with black smoke. Not just a little smoke but more than I had ever seen . I felt sick to my stomach knowing that all of the guys on that crew had just died right before my eyes. Very unnerving to say the least. I still have dreams about that terrible event. It took hours to put that fire out.

      To find out the complete facts about the fatal B-52 crash on Friday, 24 June, 1994, just look up CZAR 52, which is the callsign of the B-52 that the irresponsibly dangerous murderer, LT. Col Arthur 'bud' Holland, flew into the ground that day, killing all aboard. Truly, a loathsome individual.

    I watched a B-52 do a fly over during an airshow in Caldwell Idaho many years ago. I lived across the valley on a hilltop by Nampa Idaho. I saw it come from the Boise end of the valley,it seemed to fill the whole valley as it past by me on its way to fly over the airshow in Caldwell. As soon as it went over Caldwell they hit the throttles and did a performance climb strait freaking up. That was the most impressive thing I've ever seen a big aircraft do,I was amazed by the sheer power of those engines.

    I was not at Fairchild AFB that horrible day in 1994 when a B-52 crashed there. There were 4 USAF Officers aboard the aircraft. I have met some of the children they left behind. Today I live very close to Langley AFB and watch F-22s and T-38s here all the time. But, in my heart, I am a SAC guy! I have watched B-52s landing and taking off. I also have sat and watched B-2s at Whiteman. A good friend of mine is a now retired B-52 Pilot. He sometimes brings me on base at Langley and we always go look at the B-52 on display there. That aircraft is a huge one.

These looked especially realistic in the air with the replay slowed down to half speed. If you get one more you could fly Arc Light raids.

    The film of the crash of CZAR-52, is absolutely chilling. What made it so much worse, is that it was one of the crew's last flight before retiring, and all his family and friends were assembled there to witness the event. They never expected to see him die. Crews had complained about Col Holland's laissez-faire attitude to safety, and regulations before, with some, flat out refusing to fly with him ever again. Nothing was done about this. After the crash, and investigation, air accident investigators were scathing in their assessment of Colonel Holland.
    One of the saddest moments of aviation history. Certainly, one of the most horrifying to watch. Seeing that huge aircraft slipping sideways out of the sky, clip a power line, and cartwheel into the floor, is one of those 'once seen, never forgotten' moments. Which I wish I'd never seen.

Sometimes when the graduate schoolwork got too overbearing I would go out and watch the B-25's taking off or landing. Just the thing to calm my nerves from the grad work. There is probably nothing more majestic than a Buff getting the lift to get off the ground. I hope that they never retire them.
