<div>If that is the one I am thinking of, the regular copilot refused to fly with this guy any more. The pilot's commander was in the copilot seat when the plane went in. The guy had a history of trying to fly the B52 like it was a fighter.</div> <div> </div> <div>Bob R.</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>rcmaster199@aol.com</I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV><SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>Thanks Marty, that's the one. Remembered it as test pilot...regardless, crew and all perished. Point being that pencils need to fly extremely fast to generate enough lift.

A very famous and sad case. B-52 bomber. Hot dog pilot. Practicing for an air show, not test piloting. <<A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVaAVN94sTs" target=_blank>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVaAVN94sTs</A>> You can get lots of reports on the incident by googling Holland B-52 crash.
