I know this is getting away from the subject matter, but for those interested, the following link will take you to some info on the B52, callsign Czar 52, crash back in 1994 at Fairchild AFB.

The following is a cut and paste from the site. The article deals principally with mental phenomena associated with flying, and is not an actual accident report.

If I can find another article on how it was permitted to get that far, I'll post. It's an interesting exercise in analyzing leadership, or lack of.

"................that the B52 does not have wing control surfaces, ailerons, needed to correct the flight path Holland had put the plane into. There was absolutely no way that plane could achieve the stunt he attempted.

Holland is cited has having more hours in a B52 than any other pilot.

In a normal mental state he had to know that the stunt was impossible."
