...en bij deze het vriendelijke verzoek om
Bud Holland / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Fair ... B-52_crash
graag achterwege te laten bij eventuele replies/commentaren... :roll:
Dit was operationeel :!:
En zeker twee/drie jaar voor Bud Holland's fatale stunt... :roll:

De bewuste radar-set is te zien vanaf 1.35 en 2.10 tussen de diverse passes door.

Per 4.05 vinden de lokale koeien en stieren/runderen het niet leuk meer :twisted:

Wat duikt er vanaf 4.16 langzaam op achter de radar set :?: Yep...

Zie ook de pass op 5.45 en verder, plus die vanaf 6.08 .

De Aardvark-piloot moest zich inhouden (nog steeds leuk overigens!), de Bone-vliegers durfden niet zo veel...

De goeie ouwe tijd... 8)
Bug Check May 1991

A B-52 crew performing a low level flyby of a ground-based radar scoring site in preparation for SAC's Bomb Comp 1991.

Yours truly was aboard on this particular day as part of a 1st Combat Evaluation Group (CEVG) sortie
to calibrate the bomb scoring radar at the site.

This job is just plain fun. I had a friend with a video camera at the site to record the action.

It was a very windy day at this site in West Texas.

The airplane was crabbing into the wind quite a bit.
That made it a lot more difficult to fly the correct path over the site.

Also, cameo appearances by the FB-111 and B-1 bombers.

The FB-111 pilot had a right seater from the Wing with him,
so he couldn't show us quite so much of what the airplane can do.

Too bad, because the FB-111 at low level is such a great sight.

The B-1 guys, well...who knows.
I think the pilot was just demonstrating the "by the book" method.
