It's scary how much this resembles the actual B-52 crash several years ago
at an airshow.

I missed this one! Sounds interesting from all the "Re:" posts. Can
someone please repost, or perhaps provide a link, if there is one. My ISP
newsgroup server doesn't give me a very big "window" in the AvPics NG...
Thanks,

Here is a link where they have a model crash video if that's what you
mean. http://www.flyingtreehouse.com/hobby/rcair/rcair.html

CJ,
Yes, that's the one. Some weeks ago some "stills" of this crash were
posted here. That got me interested, so I went on to read a comprehensive
study of the crash, written by Major Tony Kern, and located at...
http://s92270093.onlinehome.us/crmdevel/resources/paper/darkblue/darkblue.htm

A very interesting read!

Thanks,
Al Camp

I've just re-read the article - tragic, reminds me of the Tenerife accident
leadership-wise and the "too experienced" dutch pilot . . . .
My impression is that industry and military has learned from this?

In essence that USS Vincennes and Iranian A-300 story wasn't much
different as well.
