Regarding a recent event of a KB-50 in Greenland.

Found this and wanted to know if any of you had heard of this? Or thought of it? Sounds a little Hokie

Entertaining to say the least. A true serial number would easily put this bedtime story to rest.

:roll: oh boy. I have a very hard time with this one. not in the age we live in - someone somewhere would have called thier local TV/Radio/Paper long ago and blown it wide open.

Just look at what has happened with those soldiers in Iraq, Heaven rest thier souls and families - and rip out the hearts of thier murderers, the news outlets made sure the whole world knew about long before the military could release a statement.

I think I still have the video of this movie in a dusty box in my basement; its in its original, but tatty, vhs box, as found in the 99 cent bin at the local video store back in 1986....Jan-Michael Vincent plays the pilot, Gil Gerard the co-pilot, and Ernest Borgnine plays the flight engineer. Daniel Hugh Kelly is the navigator, and there is a special appearance by Brian Keith as the alien.

As for the real event, I have it on good authority that the B-50 was a data-plate restoration, and that it will be at Oshkosh this year, piloted by Vincent Price.

entertaining indeed...


cheers

You guys won't be laughing so hard when it shows up at Oshkosh and wins best bomber. Would win best warbird but it is not original enough. That purple gas in the tanks will be just wrong to the judges.

That's nothing! I read about an Me-109 that landed in Russia about 5 years ago with its dessicated Luftwaffe pilot inside. I think there is an SBD on the moon also.

There actually is a b32 at the bottom of the sea off Tinann in the Pacific - a deep sea cable company found her a few years back in good shape and yes there are pics somewhere, I believe the USAF M is looking into it

I wonder if the writer mixed up the stories of the ill-fated B-29 Kee Bird with King Bird.

Perhaps they really meant to say King 9 and not King Bird.



Oh wait, I forgot, King 9 will not return.

Great piece of fiction, but full of plot holes and spelling mistakes.

I mean if the radio calls were on an obsolete frequency no longer used, why was the tower listening to that frequency?

And as for the kooks who think there are planes on the moon, you'll believe any crazy conspiracy theory. We all know America has never gone to the moon so it can't be so! :P :roll: :oops:

Here's another story also involving a KB-50.

After reading it sounds like it has more merit of being true but I wasn't able to tracking down a serial # of a lost KB-50 matching this occurence. Maybe someone might be able to corroborate this disappearence.
