CALIFORNIA | US Air Force B-52 Stratofortress Bomber Crashes After Take Off
PRELIMINARY 11:20 AM PDT, June 15, 2026 KERN COUNTY (Edward's AFB) — A B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff Monday morning at a U.S. Air Force base in Southern California’s Mojave Desert, officials said. Emergency crews were responding after the aircraft went down around 11:20 a.m. at Edwards Air Force Base, the military said on the social platform X. Eight crew members are believed to be dead.  Video from the scene showed a huge plume of black smoke rising from the desert. Shortly before 1 p.m., the airfield was closed and all inbound aircraft were being diverted. Meanwhile all non-commercial visitor passes for the base were suspended “to allow the installation to focus entirely on emergency response operations,” officials said in a statement.
