Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful video!! George Kusch was my dad. My husband and I went to Fremont about 3 years ago for a presentation. It was amazing! We were able to go to the site, then the museum. I was 6 years old when this happened, but remember it like it was yesterday! Again, thank you! My dad was always a hero to me…it warmed my heart to hear you validate it.
Hi Ellen. Thank you so much for commenting. We are so happy that you liked the video. Your Dad was a True Hero by risking his own life that day to save his crew and Lord knows how many more lives on the ground because of his actions. Our hope is for people to see the video and know what your father did. He has our respect!
if you guys dont mind me asking which trail did you guys take that brought you through the most debris? love the video by the way, yall give me most of my idea's for hiking trips
Thank you! There was only a distinct path out there when we went. There is debris along it. Alot of what we found though, we just bushwhacked to see what we could find. We took about 4 different trips there and try to cover and find as much as we could. 😀
Great video. My Dad, at the time 1st LT Joseph B. Hunt, Jr. was the copilot of the stricken B-52. He had managed to sequester his ejection seat from the crash and hauled it around over his entire 40-year USAF career. It now sits in my youngest brothers backyard in Destin, FL. Dad and the pilot George Kusch served together there at Westover and later at McCoy AFB in Orlando, FL on the 365/24/7 nuclear airborne alert in the 60's known as Chrome Dome. In fact, Dad was in the air the day that Kennedy was shot and he got orders to arm his nucs and proceed on to destroy Moscow as they thought the Ruskies had popped Kennedy. At that point, they knew it was a one-way mission and they'd never make it out alive! Just as they crossed into Russian airspace, they got orders to divert to Seville, Spain, and that's all I heard about that incident. Although him and his crew were soaked with sweat upon departing the plane and were then treated to the best Seville had to offer - bullfights and many other things. Dad was 28 years old at the time of the crash and was up for his 1st star when he retired in 1979. He passed away in 2003 and was interred in Pensacola National Cemetery. He was and always will be my hero!
Oh my goodness! George Kusch was my dad! I’m Ellen… I absolutely loved your mom and dad! My brother just sent me this today. When I saw your comment I was so excited! My husband and I went out to Fremont about 3 years ago for a presentation about the crash and our parents. It was so emotional! One of the crew members wife’s is still alive. Shirley Hethorn. We live in Dover, DE and my brother, Robert lives in St. Petersburg, FL. Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Hi 👋 You guys sure make interesting videos. I am amazed how much stuff the Air Force left, and how much of it is still intact enough to find. Very cool. 👍
