low base leg with turn to final at aprx 50-100ft agl.
An eyewitness reported to ASN: "I was 14 years old standing on the flight line. The daily airshow was close to starting. I saw the aircraft turning to final and it rolled inverted struck the runway sliding a ways then caught fire. The occupants were trapped. An airshow pilot from one of the acts ran over to the aircraft and was trying to lift the tail for them to get out but he soon retreated because of the heat."
