That Fairchild crash was sickeningly stupid; it's obvious from the angle of bank that the airplane is pulling four or five gs when it's only rated for 1.8g positive. The pilot killed himself and he killed his crew.
Was quite the dark day for Eastern Washington State and Spokane and Fairchild in particular.
On the slightly lighter subject of model airplanes crashing, I see the B-52 model had foam core wings, but probably not EPP foam. Amazingly, the EPP models can sometimes do a nose-in crash at 50-60 mph, bounce several feet in the air and go back flying again. Occasionally the foam will fail but often it doesn't. Some of the EPP wing modelers kick their plane from the back to get it into the air -- not something you would normally do with a balsa and spruce model.
At that bank angle the BUFF is not going to get any lift anyhow. The pilot of that BUFF had a reputation of being a bit of a "hot dog". High crew turnover with that pilot as aircraft commander. And the picture shows where it got him. "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots" (Chuck Yeager I believe).
