## Resource

A B-52 bomber crashed during a radar upgrade test flight at Edwards Air Force Base, killing all eight crew members — a mix of military personnel, civilians, and Boeing contractors. The iconic aircraft, a Cold War veteran still in service, lost another legendary crew. The Air Force is launching a thorough investigation into possible flight control or engine failures, which could take up to six months. With only two bases in the U.S. housing these bombers, the tragedy underscores the immense risks these teams take to keep America’s aviation tech at the cutting edge.
