Tragic. I would go to Barksdale every couple of months the past 3 years- Amazing birds to behold. They all had ejection seats, no?

What happened?
most likely the landing becon for lack of a better word was set wrong on board or malfuctioning on the ground and the pilots flew into the ground. it happens all to often in civilian aviation. its called Controlled Flight Into Terrian.


may they rest in peace and fly forever with out the confines of an airframe
