La Edwards Air Force Base, vasta installazione militare situata nel deserto della California a circa 160 chilometri a nord di Los Angeles, è nota anche per essere il luogo in cui il pilota collaudatore Chuck Yeager superò per la prima volta la barriera del suono nel 1947.

L’incidente arriva a quasi un anno da un altro episodio che aveva coinvolto un B-52. Nel luglio dello scorso anno , il pilota di un aereo di linea regionale in volo sopra il North Dakota fu costretto a effettuare una brusca manovra evasiva per evitare una possibile collisione in volo con un bombardiere B-52 che si trovava sulla sua traiettoria. Le autorità militari hanno avviato gli accertamenti per chiarire le cause dello schianto di oggi.
