This guy was a real idiot and no one wanted to fly with him due to his reckless behavior. The Air Force let him get away with it until he finally killed himself and a whole flight crew while trying to make a sharp turning manuever a few hundred feet above the runway.

Lt. Col. Arthur Holland, Friday June 24, 1994.
I remember the incident. It happened in 1994 a week before the Air Show at Fairchild AFB, WA.
A KC-135 and B-52 were practicing their flight maneuvers with the Bomber following the Tanker. Tankers can fly slower, and lower than Bombers while maintaining flight and since the Bomber was trailing the Tanker, at the same speed and altitude it tried to turn following the Tanker.
Silly as this will sound, LtC Holland actually did a great job in where he crashed the Bomber. He managed to avoid several dorms and the entire flightline complex. He didn't hit the runway, or taxiways but most of all, he put it in a field just off the runway avoiding dorm rooms.
On Monday the 20th, a guy shot up the Hospital at Fairchild, it was a bad week.

Col. Holland. Interesting fact is that the Officer that reported his previous actions was co-pilot on the final flight. Revenge?
