Appreciate the aerial view of the site and helps put the whole crash site into perspective. I just paid the site another visit and was saying to myself I would of liked to have brought my Quad-copter up to get a better view of the area but after seeing your video won't have to.
Nice Video...I wanted to go there for years so I was finally there May 21st,2020.... just an awful tragedy....and a sad "strange" feeling to know that lives were lost and their families lives were changed for forever from that moment on...sad..
I visited the crash sight in 2020. The climb up takes about 45 minutes (I am 77 yrs old). Good shoes are required. It is a steep climb. Coming down the steep section of the trail is easier if you have a staff. The trail is up a dry stream bed. The locals (Air Cadets?) have made a bridge over a stream and built rest benches at intervals. They also cut off the trees that fall down over the trail. The wreck is still there with lots of small bits that have not been pilfered. I drove my car right up to the start of the trail. Any front wheel drive car can make it right to there. The plane had a tailwind, so they hit the coast early. They planned on climbing before reaching land, but their 800 foot cruise altitude was about 300 feet to low to clear this rocky hill.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I recall that on one Bomber that flew out of South Dakota Air Force base was Later renamed Ellsworth Air Force base because of the loss in 1953.
Yes, my mother's first husband was killed also. She remarried a year or so later. She very rarely talked about it as it was such a painful time in her life
@@michaellegge2997 I just read that it's some distance away. Just wondering how far unless it exploded. I plan on going to Newfie next year and want to see the site.
bet that plane was based out of Loring AFB limestone Maine I remember them well as a kid flying over our school on their base leg whole place would shudder
My mother was married to Captain Stuart G Fauhl who died in this crash at the age of 27, leaving behind my 25 year old mother and his 2--1/2 year old son. It was out of Rapid City, South Dakota, and the base was very quickly (within a few days) renamed Ellsworth AFB, after Brig. Gen. Richard Ellsworth who also died in this crash along with the other 22 men aboard the plane. May they rest in peace.
No, this one was out of Rapid City, South Dakota. Another plane crashed around that time. My mother's husband, Stuart G. Fauhl is listed on the memorial.
Great drone shots. I liked the site much better before someone cut down all the trees and exposed it to the bleaching sun - not to mention the hundreds of pieces that have disappeared since the new road was put in.
Thank you. I was there in 1994 - a long hike through heavy woods on trails that were barely there - no signs or handrails or picnic tables or anything. Except for some rust on iron parts it looked like it crashed yesterday - the forest kept it from the sun. We had to crawl under the brush in the rain to get to anything. Except for a piece cut from the nose wheel tire (probably for a boat bumper) there was no evidence of anything being taken - there was even a fuselage section with the planes numbers and one of the pilots seats. We had heard the slate mine was going to put in a road and the current situation is the result.
I was there yesterday .. it seems alot of pieces are removed compared to pics I seen online to what I seen yesterday.. I ran out of time before I could find the cockpit thats there..hoping to get back for another look around over the next month ..was hoping to see the cockpit and left wing in your video .. awesome.video thank u for sharing.

Thanks so much for the kind words
@@michaellegge2997 What quadcopter did you shoot the video with?
This was shot on my 3dr solo which was still current at the time.
Been there. It is a sad and surrealistic place. Excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you so much

So sad right. You're right on the strange feeling just as you get to the top.

Is this the B-36 that General Ellsworth was on back in 1953?

@@gustavoreyes7366 this is the correct site for sure.

President Eisenhower was there for the funerals and all the top military brass was there. He renamed the base at that time.
Could have had some sort of historical context to go with images. Also, ground-level footage would have been good. Excellent soundtrack.
Thanks for the comment. I linked one of the sites with the historical info in the details.
Great idea for the ground level footage.
Where is the wing?
Not entirely sure. The crash was quite some time ago.

28th Reconnaissance Wing out of Rapid City Air Force Base in South Dakota

Where? When? No context....
It's in Burgoynes cove and was about 6 years ago.
Nicely done video!
Kelly or Richard Weddle thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Howard Benoit glad you enjoyed it. My editing skills aren't the best.
Wow!
I hope you enjoyed the video.
I did it too! What a spot that is!
Beautiful hike!!!

Thanks so much for the comment and you're absolutely right. I plan on doing the hike again this summer.

@@johnwatson3948 that would have been something to see. I bet that was quite the hike.

95% of video is of trees and rocks
Unfortunately that's where the crash happened. The idea was to give you a view and general idea of the surroundings.
sorry
thaeres another one crashed in labrador 53° 6'7.27"N, 60°40'31.61"W
Thanks for the info. I'd love to visit some day.
I'm hoping to explore that site one day aswell .
@@jennifersnook2435 let me know! id be down for a good hike haha
Some narration would have been nice, instead of the stupid music.
Thanks and to each their own I guess.
