RE: Big B-52 Crash
I saw the video of the first flight of that a/c, or at least another flight, and he sure left it on the ground a LOT longer. Not to mention his climbout was a lot less steep. Of course, he was flying off a full sized runway, with considerablly more room than he had at that airshow. There's a thread going on in the crash forum about this as well.
