- Rest In Peace to the Pilot & the Planes of Fame's Northrop N9MB Flying Wing that crashed on 04/22/2019. Thoughts & Prayers go out to the Family, Friends & Staff of the Planes of Fame Museum.
I had shot this footage at the 2018 Planes of Airshow and had not uploaded it but I thought that I should so people can see more footage of this amazing one of a kind aircraft. You can read about the history of the N9M on the Planes of Fames website by clicking on this link. planesoffame.o...

I had the privilege of seeing this beautiful plane fly at the Chino air show in 2014. It is a terrible loss to have lost both the pilot and this historic aircraft. It reminds one that all flying is hazardous, specially these war birds, unique and extreme designs. Rest in peace, Mr. Povat.
Thank you for your nice comment and so glad you got to see it in person in 2014.
Feck! That planes a beast! Shame I will never see it. Condolences.
Yes it's very sad the loss of life and aircraft. R.I.P.
What a unique, and ultra rare bird! Now, because of it being destroyed in the crash, we'll never see it again, ever.
+John Osbourn It could be rebuilt if they have the drawings. Flying it again may be unlikely because of rare engines or just out of caution. Terrible loss for the museum and the pilot.
Ya, not sure what the museums plans will be but time will tell.
As an avid aviation fan,this was agony to hear about. It'd be like the Shuttleworth Collection losing the DH-88 Comet Grosvenor House in a crash.
WOW! That was a very good looking plane. Too bad that it crashed :(
R.I.P. To the pilot, my thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of the pilot.
Yes thank you for your thoughts and prayers for the family & friends.
I was lucky enough to see this aircraft fly in the early '90s. I was on a layover at ONT and I always tried to get to Chino and Fla-Bob when I could. One day I showed up at Chino just as they were getting ready to fly it. Was quite a treat. Condolences for the surviving loved ones.
Thanks so much Kevin for your comment & so glad that you got to see it in person.
Used to live next to Flabob….
Wish I'd had a chance to see it fly. I knew one of the engineers, Jack Pfarr, back in the 70's. His hobby shop was a safe haven for a bullied little kid. He had pictures of all the wings he helped engineer on the wall of the shop. I was fascinated by them.
I was very lucky to have seen it several time and & wish had taken more videos, when something is gone you really miss it. That's great that Mr. Pfarr had a great hobby store and very sorry that you got bullied as a little kid, it's a real shame that it's been going on for ever, it's not right. Take care 👍😎
glad I was fortunate to see it fly for the last 10 years . Pretty sad.. rip pilot
I'm glad you got to see it fly over the years, thank you for your comment.
RIP Dave Vopat.
Yes R.I.P. Dave
Saw it many years ago at the El Toro Air Show. I was amazed to see an actual flying wing ,and this was well before the B-2 came along.😢
Ya way before the B-2, what an amazing little aircraft this was, I miss the El Toro Air Show. Thank you for your comment.
Condolences to the pilot's family.
Yes thank you John.
I heard the first few times this was flown after restoration, there was an uptick in UFO sightings in the local area.
So sad that a great plane and a great pilot were lost. Condolences to the family of Dave Vopat. I got to see the wing in person a few times at the Planes of Fame museum. some great memories.
Yes this is very sad & huge loss for Dave's Family, Friends & Aircraft, I was lucky and got to see this fly several times like you say great memories.
It sounds like a Cessna 377 Skymaster
Thanks for sharing.
I never saw it fly in person.
Thank you Phil.
That is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching 👍😎
Multiple witnesses located near the accident site reported observing the airplane flying on a northeastern heading at a low altitude when it performed a "barrel roll."
Very sad, something must of happened I don't think he would have done barrel roll on purpose at low altitude, thank you for your comment.
@@EdWhisenantAviation No his belt was off so was the canopy so i figure he rolled to bail out but got stuck just like the test pilot did then he died.
@@cutterbacon Very sad, thank you for the info on his belt was off so was the canopy.
Such an interesting and unique aircraft, looks pretty cool. Really sad to hear this aircraft crashed and that the pilot lost their life.
I was very lucky to see it fly several times over the years it will really be missed & a huge loss of a great pilot that performed at the airshows & flew several different aircraft.
When did the crash/accident occur? And are the cause(s) or circumstances of what led up the crash known?
@@logancurl9526 Crashed on 04/22/2019, you can read all about the crash On-Line.
Sad in so many levels... loss of life.
Yes very sad Jennifer.
Incredible machine… RIP to the pilot who lost their life in the accident.
Yes RIP and pray for the family.
How ironic,just saw may he 2 videos yesterday on the crash and tribute on the pilot and this aircraft. I'll be one of those individuals interested on what the NTSB finds and what brought it down. 2nd video (tribute) about the pilot he mentions about being one of a very small group qualified to fly this aircraft and also said that there's more astronauts then pilots for this aircraft. May he rest in peace
Hello Rory, thank you for your comment, very sad that we lost such a great pilot and aircraft. RIP & prayers still go out for all his family and friends.
+ rory gallegos The NTSB concluded in-flight loss of control for unknown reasons. Witness statements say the plane abruptly rolled right to inverted and then entered a corkscrew dive and a high energy impact. The wreckage was too damaged to determine the specific loss of control.
I am just now seeing this (late 2020)... so sorry to hear of this.
Yes, very sad, lost the pilot and aircraft. RIP
I saw it before it crashed. I got to touch and walk around it. Small plane irl last year, really a tragedy the pilot and plane were lost.
I'm glad you got to see it up close before it crashed, it was a big part of history leading up to the B-2 Bomber. Yes a real tragedy for sure loss of life & an historic Aircraft. Thank you for your comment & for watching.
I've seen it in videos but never got to see it in person ;(
Yes very sad that we lost it & the pilot, as far as the plane goes at least we have videos of it to watch. Thank you for your comment.
This sad end illustrates the fact that such a wing had not enough directionnal stability and needed a rudder.That was
the result of the works of a French Test Pilot named Charles FAUVEL,who after his first design in 1929 at the age of 23 deposited his patent for rudder in the middle 30's...His first glider AV 3 flew in 1933,the first powered design being AV 10 of 1935 which
disappeared in 1940 in Cazaux during the nazi invasion of France.
After WWII Charles FAUVEL who ended his military carreer
as a Colonel designed on his own gliders,AV 36,two seater
AV 22,and motor gliders AV 45 and AV 221 .
It is not until fly by wire abd computers that the directionnel stability problem could be solved by a brililant
Northrop Company engineer could be solved,leadind to the
magnificent B 2 Spirit.
Test Pilot Edwards and his crew lost their live due to this
directionnal stability problem.
Horten design could do two 360° turns,without any possibility for the Pilot to stop
the rotation...
Anyhow glory to Charles FAUVEL and John K NORTHROP who paved the way for this very efficient design of airplane.

So sorry that you didn't get to see. Very sad that we lost the pilot & the wing.
Hey, hey, HEY, is this the plane the flying wing they used in that sci fi movie, (WAR OF THE WORLDS) from the 1950s, LOOKS AWESOME 💪✌️👌👍
I'm not sure, it's been so long I don't remember. Thank you for watching 😎👍
@@EdWhisenantAviation oh yeah, I'm jus jokn, I'm sure that old, old, sc fi movie had some fake aircraft toy for that mission on that movie, thanks for your (response) inquiry. Take care. 👍😉
@@sd90mac8 Your welcome & ya got me LOL 👍😎
Очень жаль пилота и самолет собранного из частей сохранившихся с 40х годов ,был единственный экземпляр самолета американского авиаконструктора Нортропа -гениального авиаконструктора , разбился и пилот и с ним N 9 MB самолет .
Thank you for watching.
What!!! Are you serious that that plane crashed? How the hell did that happen and wasnt that the only one flying? Any footage of the crash? What the hell man, I am shocked... man that sucks...
Yes unfortunately it is a total loss & so sad for the pilot's family, friends and the museum. No footage of the crash as of yet, the prison might of captured it?
It was one of 4 built and it was the only one left in the world
@@MrLunchHour2 Thank you for your comment.
Hola puede ocuparse este video con fines eduscativos? Saludos
Educational purposes? Do you have a channel?
RIP 😢
Thank you for your comment.
Damn what a sad loss...
Yes very sad, Loss of life and Very Rare Flying Wing😪
@@EdWhisenantAviation is there any other flying wing like this one in the world that still exists? Aircraft can always be rebuilt but lives cannot at least not yet....
Покойся с миром Девид
Yes R.I.P.
This is better than the Vought V173.
Oh! Yes the "Flying Pancake" I would have loved to have seen one of those fly. Thank you for your comment.
R.I.P pilot you will be missed I loved your flying
Yes R.I.P. & he will be missed, thank you for your comment.
A tragedy that the N9MB crashed.
Yes it sure is, very sad.
R.I.P.
Yes, R.I.P.
If that plane lost an engine, could it be controlled ?
On one engine yes, both engines on this plane could be tricky a lot depends on altitude, speed etc. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Cool
Thank you Mel 😎👍
❤️🙏❤️🙏
Yes thank you for the ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Sadly the link you posted is dead also
Thank you for being so nice 👍😎
The old boomerang
Still so sad it's gone, hard to believe 😢😢
I do wonder about the wisdom of flying very rare aircraft
Will never know?
There's a lot of planes flying today that are much older than the Flying Wing. I am sad to hear the pilot and plane were lost.
@@kirklandelectricicnc Yes a big loss thank you Steve R.I.P.
Another one just crashed march 31,2022
What kind crashed, this was the only one of this type.
Always wondered if they would fly this bird.
Ya they did for several years, a lot of people got joy from seeing her fly. Thank you for watching>
Did they figure out what went wrong ?
Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database. Conclusion.
The pilot's loss of control for undetermined reasons.
Where is the crash in this video?????
Yes Carl my video does not show the crash, I shot this footage at the 2018 Planes of Airshow . Thank you for watching.
RIP
Yes, RIP - Thank You
Thats sooo sad, R.I.P, now its time to build an airworthy german Horten 9 flying wing jet replica
Yes very sad & R.I.P. Hey you never know it could happen one day
😅 was it going super fast?
I'm not sure Max how fast it was going but very sad.
kenneth arnold see..... ufo in 1947

Yes he landed it perfect, my video does not show the crash, I shot this footage at the 2018 Planes of Airshow . Thank you for watching Douglas.
👌👍👍👍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰😊😊
Nice radar cross section on this plane. It does not look very stable, though.
Ya I'm not to sure how stable it was, I new it flew for years. Thank you for watching.
