I'm guessing that was a joke, but the B in B-52 does not stand for Boeing it stands for Bomber. For example the B-1 was made by Rockwell and it's designation is still B-1 not R-1. USA Military designations include, C for Cargo, F for Fighter, B for Bomber, A for Attack, and F/A for Fighter Attack because the Navy wanted to be special lol. There are many other designations but those are the most common.

I was also confused by that statement, and I hope it was a joke.

Yeah it does
On 26th of June 2008, an Indonesian Air Force CASA C212-200 Aviocar with 18 people aboard crashed into
Mount Salak
Indonesia still does operate Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30

[@Knight6831]

Yeah anyone standing up at impact would have been thrown forward whereas anyone seated is thrown forward in their seats

I really can't wrap my head around ignoring warnings on a demonstration flight. That's the entire point, isn't it?

[@Knight6831]

Plans for ep 100?
