| Confidence Rating: |  Information verified through data from accident investigation authorities |
During an airshow, the accident airplane flew by as the lead of a four-ship, single-file pass. When it reached the end of the runway, it began a climbing right turn, with an intended course reversal. Near the completion of the turn, the airplane suddenly rolled further right, the nose pitched down, and the airplane subsequently impacted the ground almost vertically. There were no mechanical anomalies noted.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the course reversal, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin.
