WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Forty years after the tragic 1983 crash of a Boeing B-52G, which led to the loss of all seven crew members onboard, two Air Force veterans journeyed to the crash site to remember and honor those who perished. The ill-fated aircraft was similar to one on display at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins. The B-52G, with the call sign LURE 75, and another bomber, LURE 76, left Robins Air Force Base on April 11th, 1983, for a training exercise near Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
