Consequences of penetrating Dreamland . . .

Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:03 pm

CF-104 fatal accident near Nellis AFB, NV, 1979. Pilot violated Dreamland buffer zone during Red Flag exercise.

Thought you all might find it interesting:

The Canadian accident report stresses the somewhat constant fear and trepidation pilots had of penetrating Dreamland during the exercises as it meant immediate grounding and a ticket home. Unfortunately this pilot did exactly that.
