The second YB-49 crashed during stall testing.


LOL.


Your are laughing at the death of five people, asshole.


An old friend, who was a test pilot there at Muroc (now Edwards AFB)
told me that they were testing the YB-49 with all four engines on one
side pulled back and then doing stall testing. The asymmetric thrust,
coupled with slow spool-up time on those four engines, resulted in a
vicious, unrecoverable stall/spin.
