Limited tracking data shows that the B-52 involved in a deadly crash during a test flight at an Air Force base in California made a sharp right and then nearly completed a 180-degree turn before plunging to the ground at a rate of nearly a mile a minute.

The US Air Force plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California.
