Week's ARES blog reports that the last crash of a B-52 was in 1994;
that accident was blamed on pilot error.

'pilot error' is too soft a term for what happened in 1994, 'pilot
insanity' is probably more appropriate for that incident, which was no
reflection on the actual safety of the plane.

If IIRC that stupid asshole, put a serious roll moment ending
in a bank attempt near 75 degrees, totally uncoordinated and
slipped the B52 into the ground in a few seconds, apparently
showing off....Evel Kinevel in a B52...a sickening event.
