- Date: June 24, 1994
- Aircraft: Boeing B-52 Stratofortress
- Location: Fairchild AFB (Spokane), Washington, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The pilot's unsafe, risk-taking flying, including steep banked turns and pitch attitudes outside orders, combined with inadequate supervision and a stall at low altitude that was not recovered.
A USAF B-52H performing a practice demonstration for the Fairchild Airshow stalled during a steep, low turn around the control tower and crashed at Fairchild AFB. All four crew members were killed. The USAF investigation blamed the pilot's unsafe conduct, inadequate supervisory response and the unsafe demonstration profile.
