Precisely the same scenario as the 1994
Fairchild AFB B 52 crash.
Go to the source for a video of the entire flight (less than one minute).
It ends just before impact.

Yeah, Fairchild immediately occurred to me as well.
What’s with these cowboys-in-the-cockpit pretending to be fighter aces.

Watching the video, the pilot was an idiot.

With regard to the Buff crash, I have never discovered how many levels of command were mustered out because of that situation.

Oh my, it makes me heartsick to see that video. :( So much tragedy... all for glory sought.

From what I’ve heard the pilot was noted for that kind of flying. Always hotdogging that big hunk of metal.

He pulled that radical, high-G turn in those last seconds because he realized his flight path was going to take him over a nuke storage area, which is a very big no-no.
It was the final flight of his career. His family was present to greet him when he landed.

Sorry, I’m refering to the B-52 incident, not the C-17.
