Seat from 1963 B-52 crash reportedly found in Maine May 22nd 2012, 19:25 GREENVILLE, MAINE –  A forest ranger has found what's believed to be an ejection seat from a B-52 bomber that crashed on a western Maine mountain nearly 50 years ago, killing seven airmen. The Maine Forest Service said Tuesday that ranger Bruce Reed found the seat on an overgrown logging road while hunting last fall on Elephant Mountain near Greenville. Reed returned to the site Saturday to take photos and record identification numbers to confirm it came from the B-52. A recovery team plans to retrieve the seat on Thursday. The unarmed B-52 went down Jan. 24, 1963, while on a training mission out of Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts. The forest service says the seat is the one that probably saved the life of either the jet's pilot or its navigator.
