January 24th, 1963 was a sad day for Maine and for aviation. On that day a B-52C on a training mission crashed near Greenville, Maine with nine crew aboard, and only two survived. Large sections of the aircraft still remain at the crash site, unfortunately, damaged by graffiti and souvenir hunters.
