WHEN YOU THINK YOUR THE MASTER YOU FIND OUT THE HARD WAY WHO IS REALLY IN CONTROL.
From:	Rob James Townsend	(Thu Jun 23 16:46:29 2005)
Seen the footage of this accident before.. very sad day and he should have been grounded months ago..

The event could have been prevented had Bud´s supperiors done their job !

This guy lost his fear of the aircraft, that's what killed him.

I think this pilots poped his rod. Fist pumping action is all that awaits....

The caption is wrong. This occurred after the airshow. He requested a 360 around the tower, and never was approved. He did it anyway.
From:	BUFF	(Fri Feb 24 16:22:52 2006)
No, you're worng it was at airshow practice. Read the report.
From:	0058 crew chief	(Mon Nov 6 17:18:28 2006)
I was station at FAFB for four years each year the airshow was just about the same, It ROCKED and WOW'd the crowd thats why nothing was said.
From:	0058 crew chief	(Mon Nov 6 17:20:41 2006)
I was on the flightline that day and watch four good men die. I knew all of them. I flew with Holland and Houston. Mark, was my comander of the 325th. and Help a few of us wash the buff in the museum park just a week earlier.
From:	0058 crew chief	(Mon Nov 6 17:23:35 2006)
Mark was a great guy. The VC I did not know for he had just got to Fairchild a few months prior to this. For the record All of these guys Proudly served this country with all thier hearts. I salute them along with all who severe our country.
From:	0058 crew chief	(Mon Nov 6 17:26:45 2006)
Bud was a great pilot no matter what happend. Those who knew and flew with him knows that and those who can sit and play the blame game I'm sure would want him in the pilot seat if they was in HOSTLE AIR.
From:	Study of Mr. Holland	(Fri Nov 10 23:37:58 2006)
Mr. Holland should be remebered as a murderer. He had no reguard for his life or that of his crew. Those who did not ground him have blood on there hands.
From:	Ibpilot	(Thu Mar 8 01:21:01 2007)
the plane had engine failure on the left side and was gonna crash. the two guys in the back of the plane eject downward, they couldnt eject that low unless the plane was at 90 degrees of bank. Holland was trying to save those two guys down below. they just didnt have enough time.
From:	Killer Bud Holland	(Wed Mar 28 16:41:35 2007)
Ibpilot = fool or a liar. There was no left engine failure! He killed 3 officers plus himself by being a hot-dog. Do you bother to read accounts of the incident? You don't wipe out 4 Lt. Cols without generating quite a lot of investigations.

From:	Bill	(Mon Jul 2 10:09:28 2007)
This is the culmination of a failure of leadership at multiple levels. Bud Holland should've been grounded and drummed out of the Air Force. Instead, leadership looked the other way. He finally went too far and took three people with him when he crashed and burned.
From:	Steve Edinger	(Mon Jul 23 02:59:49 2007)
I can hear Lt Col Bud Holland saying, "Tech order, shmeck order! Regulations, smegulations! Physics, scmi... Oh-ooh!"
From:	Steve Edinger	(Mon Jul 23 03:00:33 2007)
Tech orders and regulations may have margins of error built into them. The laws of nature do not! You cannot violate the laws of nature. Attempts to do so may be punishable by death!
From:	Atam	(Fri Aug 24 18:37:41 2007)
I like B-52 Bomber.
From:	RAF Rigger	(Fri Sep 21 06:33:57 2007)
Human error? Certainly. Pilot error? Is it fair to blame the dead? All that is done is done. A sad loss of life in any case. Better to prevent the possible, than complain about the past. They lost their lives, YOU should enjoy every day of yours.

very interesting read although sad when professionals die
From:	french pilot	(Fri Jan 4 12:15:54 2008)
don't even say he was a good pilot. a good pilot is a living one.
From:	BudMan	(Fri Jan 25 14:06:14 2008)
I find it amazing that here we are, almost 14 years after this tragic incident, and people are still discussing it like it happened yesterday.
From:	x-flyer	(Mon Feb 25 05:32:27 2008)
I was on the highway running next to the base and watched this accident develope. The pictures tell it all if you look at the ailerons on both wings you'll see that the AC was trying, he was just too low and too slow. He just pushed it a bit too far....no one knows more than he.
From:	IDIOT	(Sat Mar 1 01:15:22 2008)
Bud Holland was a total idiot and cost 3 additional men their lives while their families watched. He had been known for pulling stunts like this before.

THERE ARE OLD PILOTS AND THERE ARE BOLD PILOTS,BUT THERE ARE NO OLD BOLD PILOTS.
From:	NETTA2630	(Sun May 18 17:58:23 2008)
The actions of this tragic accident is to only be blamed on the inferior commanders( Col. Weinman, Col.Julich,Col. Capotosti,etc;) who took no actions to ground Lt. Holland.
From:	b	(Mon May 19 20:20:10 2008)
but he thoght he could do dit
From:	TOO Close	(Mon Jul 21 13:40:24 2008)
I was the 3rd closest witness to this crash besides the 2 SP's in the Blazer. I can still hear the scream of those engines and being able to see from wing tip to wing tip. Crazy to think that this was practice for his retirement flight.
From:	Former russian bomber Captain	(Wed Jul 30 15:12:23 2008)
Holland should be remebered as a murderer. He had no reguard for his life or that of his crew. Those who did not ground him have blood on there hands. In the former Soviet Union Air Force only one small violation of the rulles and the pilot was grounded forever.
