If the wings ever froze in the ‘swept back’ position that would be one scary situation.. Not sure what happened though. Amazing that the crew ejected safely.

In the late 60’s we lived on a ranger station a few miles from Broadus, MT. Once every week or two one of those huge bombers, probably a B-52, would fly over at a very low level just above the hills. You could feel the vibrations long before it flew over. They were so low you could almost hit them with a spitwad.

I was on ABNCP alert next to the runway when the B1 crashed on landing in 1989. It was at night and it was raining flaming composite as the front end came to a halt halfway down the runway.

That one was pilot error, we’ll see on this one.
