codhead Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Interesting stuff. Lots of videos of aircraft buying the farm. If you think audio is an expensive hobby, check out the radio controlled B-52 with 8 jet engines. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike stehr Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I see they have the video of the Fairchild B52 crash......ol' Bud was a cowboy and ultimately paid the price! The area in the background behind the crash is the survival school and training area. I did groundskeeping there, and elsewhere on base. The writeup after the B52 crash videos pretty much sums it up. I didn't work there until '99, but I was out at Airway Heights in '94 at the time it happened. I didn't see the crash, but I seen the plume of smoke after it. The whole west plains reeked like kerosene....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 codhead: Thanks a lot for posting this site. I was a Federal crash firefighter at a Naval Air base right after I got out of the Navy. I really enjoyed watching a lot of the footage, both crashes and flight demos. It brought back a lot of good and some bad memories. God bless the folks who still do this every day. Thanks again! -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
