My friend who is big into model planes said that the B52 was rated for a 30% turn and his last turn was closer to 45%, it just stalled, no more lift.

Oops

Similar real life incident at Fairchild AFB a few years ago, with the same result, except all aboard died. Reminds us all what a dangerous business flying, and especially military flying, is. Have to admit, best job in the AF, but also one of the most dangerous. Have to admire those guys.

True Rob, but that a$$ was lucky not to have killed himself a long time before that incident, a shame he took the whole crew w/ him.

Here's one for you:

"Photos can be deceiving.
An incredible picture taken by a German aviation photographer.

A Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 are on a simultaneous landing

approach on the parallel runways 28L and 28R at SFO.

Real runway separation is only 225 meters.

Due to the telephoto distortion, the Jumbo 747 being 3 times larger
than
the 757 and being behind it, gives us this fantastic optical illusion
seeming
to fly so near together...ostensibly inches from each other!"
