Default RE: Rambunctious 135 driver

One of my air traffic control co-workers in the air force was stationed at the base that B-52 crashed at, he was in the parking lot watching and the point of impact was about 1500 feet away. It knocked him back on his butt, said he was standing up and next think he knew he was sitting on his butt. Heck of a concussion wave. I've never seen the full footage of the pullup and pitchout the buff driver did but I heard his rolls were pretty steep and this was on a go around, sucking up the gear and throttling up and turning.
