Today June 24 is the anniversary of the B-52 crash at Fairchild AFB. The crash was June 24 1994. All of the 4 crew members were killed at the point of impact. The reason for this crash was due to pilot error as the pilot maneuvered the aircraft over the limitations and lost control of it.

Wow, what a collossal failure of leadership! The pilot, "Bud" Holland should have been grounded long before that event! That guy had a history of wrecklessness.

There is also a video of this guy in a 52 flying map of the earth. If the camera man had not ducked, he would have been part of the radome.

Very sad... and very preventable. Many airmen would not fly with Holland. He'd openly comitted several violations in the past, putting many people in danger.
His FO on that flight had complained about him to the top brass, and also refused to let anyone under his command fly with Holland unless he was aboard. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop Holland that time...
I guess it was a classic case of croneyism- Lt. Col. Holland was a well-known hazard, but nothing was ever done about it.

Ouch...this was before my time, but I can still recall the event...that was an UNBELIEVABLE sight, watching the B-52 literally pivot on its wing, and flop onto the ground...

Well, you can look at him either way...the safety hazard and an accident waiting to happen...or the dare devil pilot who took the Buff to the very edge (and beyond...his last flight) of its flight envelope.
I personally think he was one hell of a character and it was very unfortunate that he "messed up."

He was an accident that was waiting to happen, and then did. Lucky he only took out his crew and not a house or school or troops on the ground or at his last display , half spectators. You need to read a bit more about this guy before you pat him on the back.

That man flew his B-52 as if it was a F-16...you can't call him a bad pilot.

He sailed his aircraft carrier like a submarine......you can't call him a bad captain.
P.S. The reality situation was a very sad event but I couldn't help but note the glaring reflection of that statement.

I would say it wasn't only the pilot twas at fault here. There are at least ten separate incidents that were completely ignored by the Air Force. His crew even refused to fly with him, which should have sent up more red signals than the Fourth of July, and the answer? His C.O. flew with him...

He routinely flew it outside of it's operating envelope with no benefit in return. That's precicely why he was a bad pilot. It's not like he was at Edwards, running tests.

A case of negligence on the part of those who handed him authority, and his peers for not taking more forceful action...
