707-E6A TACAMO TO251 during flight test, 1987 or so. Tail damage during flutter testing. This is the second failure, as the first was not captured on film. Repeat test number three passed though the aircraft's high speed limits were reduced.


I couldn’t find an accurate pic of the Everett facility nor one of the pics they had in their facility museum/info center. I did locate the above pic of a camouflaged building as reference..

My bad for not placing that disclaimer under the pic.

Surry bout dat…

Great pic of the flutter damage
