The high-wing single engine airplane was destroyed following a collision with terrain while performing aerobatic flight maneuvers. The airline transport—rated pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was fatally injured. The airplane was buzzing a friend of the pilot's house. On the last pass while flying inverted the airplane's engine was observed to cough shortly before the airplane impacted the ground. The witness noted that the airplane suddenly entered a vertical, inverted dive into a bunch of oak trees. A review of the aircraft records indicated no pre-impact anomalies and that the aircraft was properly maintained.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of control while performing a low level inverted flight maneuver.
