They were at an Air Show in Washington at Fairchild AFB. If you notice he slowed his speed on the first pass as he rounded the landing strip. There was a KC-135 tha had landed just before it, so he reduced his speed. The 60 degree bank he was attempting is possible with a BUFF, but not at that speed at that altitude. I was a B-52 Crew Chief for 6 ears. My insructor was the guy filming the second shot.
Read a report into this crash and by all accounts the pilot was know for carrying out Dangerous Manoevers. So much so that another Col on the Air Base had stated that he was going to refuse to let any of his Squadrons Aircrew fly with him !!!
In the reports he was called "Mr. Airshow" by the base commanders for his talent and ability to carry out impressive maneuvers at the shows. It is interesting how he makes one serious blunder and all of a sudden he's not a trained, experienced pilot anymore, he's a crazy whacko with a history of unacceptable recklessness. If this crash had never happened he would still be flying the same crazy stunts, and probably still be regarded as a great pilot.
maybe you put things like that up your or your mums arse you aint comin near mine you nlittle twat did you know the ppl that died? hope you did, now go fuck yourself you silly little puddle of spunk
Airelons were flat. That's no Pilot-Error. He lost Airelons and tried to level with his right Bank break, that was possibly his last option but could not recover. Airelons were definately not working, only the Brakes and that's not enough. I have seen some Higher Resolution video's and there was always the same. Pilot was in low elevation and uses the right break to level without Airelons Br. Dieter
RETARD JUST LIKE THE ppl on dc 10 united airline in 1989 some fan disk had a 13 mm crack and they let it go wat worse was the flight was inspected 2 dyas before flying and the fan disk ended up expoding and puncturung all the hydrolic systems
This incident and video is used for AF training, top of which is to show poor leadership. At previous bases, this pilot was constantly in trouble for pushing safety regulations, but by the time it needed his commander to do something, he would PCS to another base, and another commander had to learn all over again that the guy needed disciplining before he got himself or others killed. At this station, again, he was volunteering to fly for an airshow and this was a practice.
(Cont)It was a senior crew because so many refused to fly with him. Senior squadron members went with him for the sake of the squadron and the airshow. Again, he hadn't done enough at this squadron for the commander to seriously restrain him. I got this info from a fellow pilot who flew at that base, at a leadership class for Squadron Officer School, Maxwell AFB. It is held up as why you need to know your people, and don't hesitate to make tough disciplinary decisions before it is too late.
With ailerons already would be too difficult to recover from that bank angle at that altitude at that speed, imagine roll back several tons of airplane to level flight just by stalling one wing with the spoiler. And that's how this big bird banks back and forth, by stalling one of the wings with a spoiler to loose lift at that and lowering it. Ailerons (which B52 does not have) raises one wing while lowering the other and they are at the tip of the wings in cleaner flow of air.
Analize, but don´t blame people that easily. People dare all the time. In the Swiss Alps a US military jet cut the cables of a teleferic that was taking skiers to the mountain pike. The jet went on to land, the skiers were canned like sardines in the botton of a ravine,...What to do? Kill the monkey within??
Seems that the flag is raised in the limitations of banking for B52´s. When you're in a racetrack looking for the limits of a tire grip in a race bike, if you can't control the slide you crash,...but most of the time you learn with it and go on!!! Airplanes have audible and visible warnings and if you don't pay attention to them most of the time you only crash it once!!!
yup! no doubt the bank angle was very strange since the pilot would be aware of it knowing that such high degree on bank at this level could be fatal...and there is always a alarm for bank angle while the aircraft is making a hard turn towards left or right with such similar bank angle as this aircraft did and Boeing aircrafts are equipped with such alarm to warn the pilot for their hazardous bank angle's and,since he was displaying great deal of effort here so he didn't had any idea about it!
This Happened in My home town and I remember it because i was a young kid and wanted to fly b52's. It was a practice run for the airshow i was going to attened a few days after, at Fairchild AFB outside Spokane Wa. If they were practicing manuvers like this i'm sure it was somthing that was planned... somthing went wrong and therefore the accident. around here every year the b52's did manuvers like that alot... now, all we have a refueling jets and no more airshows :(
This guys piloting skills were already in question. He apparently pushed this aircraft beyond it's own abilities and was widely criticised by other pilots before the accident
why shall i laugh at the mistake of the pilot, its terrible what happend , 1 mistake and u see never your husband bake, only a burned body, i aint laughing at this video *crys*
I'm not a pilot but it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that banking that steep at low altitude with a lumbering aircraft is bound to cause a stall.
My dad knew the pilot of that crash. Seriously, he was known to be an asshole and had failed to be a 'fighter' pilot. Many refused to fly with him because of being careless and radical. As you can see, he's trying to pull a 'fighter' jet type maneuver with a B-52. My father also knew a major on board. Too bad him and any others on the plane had to die for this stupidity.
What's your point? So it was on tv, so what. I remember. I guess he's not supposed to be known because of so. Between pilots, the Air Force community isn't very big. It's not a shock for one pilot to know another.
On the side, find yourself an education. n, ya, yur, r, u, and fuk aren't words. What are you, 14?
Hey Boosterr go slit your wrist you fat fucking Russian fuck. And tell the woman who live in that country they really need to start shaving their chocolate starfish.
I agree with tjal4. Banking a B-52 so much that close to the ground is just begging for a fatal stall, and that's exactly what happened. Too much bravado on the late pilot's part, if you ask me . . . a true tragedy all the way around.
shame, at 1:08 did you see all of the righ hand speed brakes go up, he must have been trying like hell to flip it back level, personally, i have always thought those planes were big fat and unmaneuverable, proves it
the reason of this crash was due to one of the pilots carelessness ..the pilot of this particular plane had a record of performing stunts with B52 bombers earlier also.....(as told in the documentary shown on discovery channel) it is an obvious fact that if someone tries to turn a B52 or a plane of this size at such a low altitude ...it is bound to fall like a stone on the earth...
dude, i laughed so hard when i read your reply.... that's funny shit, brother.....:) but, seriously..... ya..... it was a prototype. it was like 6 ft tall and it could store 408k worth of music... way to bust my conspiracy theory...
That seems to be a very nice aircraft for what it meant to be used for! Air Force says it is good for, at least, until 2040! What happen there was a problem with the pilot's attitude, not with the airplane's....

The accident happened at Fairchild AFB in 1994. There is still debate at to the actual "cause" of the accident. There is evidence that the port aileron was jammed in the "up" position (look closely at the video just before the crash), making "recovery" impossible. The USAF, though, sticks to the "pilot error" conclusion. FYI, the pilot's friend is the one who filmed this. You can hear the pilots wife in teh background.
Seems like B-52s have no ailerons. Only some modified version B-52-008 (or NASA-NB-52B-008 carrier) has it. By the video one can see the spoiler "raised" on the left wing when the aircraft is first banked left and then the right spoiler (probably stalled) can been seen just before the crash. All make sense!
I had seen a video compiled of all the stunts this kid (pilot) had done, with other pilots recommending him to be grounded.I say kid as I believe he was ~21 years of age. The complation showed this @ the end saying, "It was just a matter of time." There's all kinds of videos of him pushing that bomber to the limits. Any one know his name?
(...continuation) Still in a banking attitude but recovering from it, the pilot tries to pull up, the wing enters in a stall situation (seems like the flaps are all hanging out), there is no airflow to act upon the right spoiler (the only aerodynamic surface that provokes or counteracts a rolling in a B52) to lower the respective wing and... no airplane flies like that, that low, too long!
I think it was a pilot bad judgment of the capabilities of the airplane. As it passes by, flying strait, no problem. The first left turn (bank) is completely pilot induced. The left spoiler acts perfect the way it should in a clean flow of air, lowering the left wing. But the radical maneuver, the turn itself (the yoke must have been glued to the pilot's chest), slows the aircraft and in the end of the turn the aircraft loses speed and altitude. (continue...)
That is NOT pilot error. If you look at the ailerons on the wings you will see that he should have been banking to the right to correct his attitude, however the aircraft continues to keep banking left. That is a mechanical failure of some kind
Just FYI - The B52 does not have ailerons, only spoilers. You will see that right before impact the starboard wing spoiler is up which would make sense as a left bank control input would imply reduced lift on the right wing. You may also have see the flaps and thought they were spoilers. Bank angle was the cause of the crash. But do we know what caused the excessive bank angle?
they should be able to buff that all out....

Yeah, sounded like the wind was high so that may have lead to the left wing stalling....

That seems to be a very nice aircraft for what it meant to be used for! Air Force says it is good for, at least, until 2040! What happen there was a problem with the pilot's attitude, not with the airplane's....

hffin, I so in your page the complete show of maneuvers (MISHAP OF B52 AT FAIRCHILD)this guy (pilot) had been doing. Very Informative!

That's a military bomber. Not a commercial airliner. =D No worries.

The accident happened at Fairchild AFB in 1994. There is still debate at to the actual "cause" of the accident. There is evidence that the port aileron was jammed in the "up" position (look closely at the video just before the crash), making "recovery" impossible. The USAF, though, sticks to the "pilot error" conclusion. FYI, the pilot's friend is the one who filmed this. You can hear the pilots wife in teh background.

Seems like B-52s have no ailerons. Only some modified version B-52-008 (or NASA-NB-52B-008 carrier) has it. By the video one can see the spoiler "raised" on the left wing when the aircraft is first banked left and then the right spoiler (probably stalled) can been seen just before the crash. All make sense!

Of what I heard, a kid was in that with his parents and the kid was the only survivior.

I don't think so body. I worked at a airport for 5 years and know when it is hopless.

I had seen a video compiled of all the stunts this kid (pilot) had done, with other pilots recommending him to be grounded.I say kid as I believe he was ~21 years of age. The complation showed this @ the end saying, "It was just a matter of time." There's all kinds of videos of him pushing that bomber to the limits. Any one know his name?

(...continuation) Still in a banking attitude but recovering from it, the pilot tries to pull up, the wing enters in a stall situation (seems like the flaps are all hanging out), there is no airflow to act upon the right spoiler (the only aerodynamic surface that provokes or counteracts a rolling in a B52) to lower the respective wing and... no airplane flies like that, that low, too long!
jmvneto51 4 years ago
I think it was a pilot bad judgment of the capabilities of the airplane. As it passes by, flying strait, no problem. The first left turn (bank) is completely pilot induced. The left spoiler acts perfect the way it should in a clean flow of air, lowering the left wing. But the radical maneuver, the turn itself (the yoke must have been glued to the pilot's chest), slows the aircraft and in the end of the turn the aircraft loses speed and altitude. (continue...)

That is NOT pilot error. If you look at the ailerons on the wings you will see that he should have been banking to the right to correct his attitude, however the aircraft continues to keep banking left. That is a mechanical failure of some kind

doesn matter the wing had stalled his input on the controls would be useless

Just FYI - The B52 does not have ailerons, only spoilers. You will see that right before impact the starboard wing spoiler is up which would make sense as a left bank control input would imply reduced lift on the right wing. You may also have see the flaps and thought they were spoilers. Bank angle was the cause of the crash. But do we know what caused the excessive bank angle?
