## Resource

A B-52 bomber crashed at Edwards Air Force Base shortly after takeoff during a routine radar upgrade test, killing eight people—including two Boeing employees. Despite its 70+ year legacy as a military workhorse, the aircraft continues to evolve with modernization efforts, including engine swaps. While the cause remains under investigation, the tragedy underscores the risks even in a plane known for its reliability and enduring service from Vietnam to today’s conflicts.
