In my 20 years of Air Force service I pulled a tour as an Aircraft
Maintenance Instructor at Sheppard AFB in Texas. We used to show
films on some of the training days and one in particular had a series
of spectacular crashes, (the idea being that if you perform crappy
maintenance the result is a horrific crash).

I seem to recall several B-58 crashes on the film that were well shot
and interesting.

There were a few other films that focused on particular aircraft or
aircraft types including the B-58. Lots of ground taxi and flying
shots if I recall.

If anyone has or knows of a source for any of these films please post
the information.

Thanks,

If you have access to the Military Channel on TV you could search for Avion
Park's "No Easy Days II - Snakes in the Cockpit" which was a movie about SAC
accidents. It included some B-58 accidents.
