    A large crowd of spectators gathers on an airfield tarmac to watch a flyover of two large military aircraft, likely B-52 bombers, flying in formation at low altitude during golden hour lighting. The scene appears to be a formal military ceremony or airshow at a desert air base, featuring a control tower, large hangars, and an arid landscape in the background. The warm sunset lighting and organized crowd suggest a significant commemorative or ceremonial event.

    Two B-52H Stratofortress aircraft based out of Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, and Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, fly over the Edwards AFB airfield at the conclusion of a memorial service held on June 29, 2026, at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The June 15 crash claimed the lives of Col. Gregory “Evil” Watson, Lt. Col. Gabriel “Journee” Estrella, retired Lt. Col. Miles “Vicky” Middleton, Maj. Alexander “SMO” Davis, Maj. Robert “Bolton” Dee, Maj. Brad “Slate” Hovey, Jeromy “Bobby” Smith and Christopher “Hustler” Rischar. The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff during a routine test mission. The cause remains under investigation. The memorial service brought together the families of the fallen, members of Team Edwards, local civic leaders and senior Air Force officials.
