B-52 Crash off of Guam

[WilldCrd]

1st read this story in the dallas morning news. Seems this is the 2nd bomber to be lost off of Guam. The 1st being the 1.2b B-2.
2 of the crew have been recovered but it doesnt say their condition.
  to the crews and hopefully they all make it out but, it doesnt look to good at this time.

I'm hoping the crew can be found safe and sound.

I am curious about the article. I think the author has the B52 confused with the P3 or something. I don't see how a B52 can monitor an extensive swath of ocean.

I'm hoping they find the rest of the crew alive but I'm not optimistic

Remember, two of the B-52s ejection seats fire upwards. The other two fire downwards.  Probably the reason only two crewmen have been recovered.

The aircraft that went down was 60-0053, I spent many hours of my life working on her.  By the way four seats in the B-52 fire upward and two fire downward; there was six souls onboard.

Really? When did the B52 get equiped as a JSTAR or AWACS or as a P3?

Lol, big dam deal.  I was off by two seats.  Still doesn't change the fact that two of the seats eject downwards.

well it is a big deal considiering your "Facts" don't support your statement.

The point of my statement was to illustrate that some of the ejection seats of the B-52 fire downward.  You better use your GI bill to go to college, because I can tell your dumb as hell.
