This is a video of the Martin's Airshow F117 Stealth Fighter Crash that occurred on September 14th, 1997 in Bowleys Quarters, Maryland. I was down at the very end of the crowd barrier and had an unrestricted view of the entire event.

During the final flyby of the fighter, a piece of the wing detached causing it to plunge into the nearby neighborhood. The video contains the entire event from the wing detaching, to the pilot ejecting, to the final plunge into the housing development.

You can hear me uttering numerous repetitive expletives after the crash. Obviously, I was unprepared to witness such an event.

  • The guy at the mic says "its ok folks"... i dont think USAF feels quite the same about that....

  • Smack the drama queen, please.

  • they did maintenance on the plane and put a thing upside down and that is what made the mound function. my grandpa was there and he told us the story of the plane. he said it was scary.

  • @Lachausis Thats a good point, I do see what you mean, and the shape of that thing would hardly be aerodynamic once its at a wrong angle. Definately scary stuff! Thanks for clarifying!
