Damn this brings back memories. I was there that day, an 11 year old boy watching the show with my dad and grandpa. What a tragedy! Now I'm a commercial pilot myself, grandpa passed away and dad's getting old. Time flies.
@@maxmoritz5065 All I know is this. Pilots, Wingsuit flyers, anyone that does anything death-defying...they have their reasons why they want to see the world in a different way or wow the crowd, facing their own fears and they knew that for something like that even one thing that goes wrong can get them injured, wounded, or worse death. It's not a laughing matter nor should it be a disrespectful one. These people had more courage facing their fears than some people who struggle with it and at worst, never overcome it. Granted all of that can be done on the ground, but some people prefer to push their own limits in ways that's never been done. At the very least there should be respect for the dead despite some of their choices that put them closer to death just one mistake away. Even if some people are right about certain choices, the way they carry their tone is disrespectful. So cut some of the deceased guys a break. They're gone and that's it.
Did they ever mention what they think caused the impact into terrain? For such an experienced pilot, I’d like to think he didn’t g-loc there. Was in a mechanical failure or he get spatially d in the smoke? That last “roll to the right” that you hear from flight lead seems to indicate that he was trying to roll right but he must’ve not released how low he was. I have no clue and would love to know from anyone that knows what caused this unfortunate incident. Does the L-39 have a HUD where the combination of the smoke and the direction of the sun blind him temporarily or lead him to believe he was higher? Either way, it’s always very unfortunate loosing a pilot and to all of those in the comments section that was there that day, I pray that this didn’t negatively impact you too much. I sure can’t imagine witnessing something like that live. Peace & love, Blue skies & Nickel in the grass. 🙏🏼
I get that people point this out, but apparently it bothers someone to not leave it alone. It's already enough that it happened. People whoever do this to whoever says dying doing what they loved. Give it a rest.
Well, better than "dying doing what you love" is "doing what you love and not dying". To be fair, though, the comment says 'doing what he loved' and not 'died doing what he loved'.
From what I can tell he had two serious issues that lead to the accident. 1. The tail end of the loop got way too tight on him and so he pulled too much elevator and exceeded the planes critical angle of attack and stalled the wings. 2.-to make things worse he was tangled up in dirty air from the leading plane, this made his recovery from the stall impossible at that low altitude. Note to pilots it is excessive elevator input that stalls a plane, not low airspeed. There is no such thing as stall speed. Only stall angle of attack. Most pilots have no clue on this fact. unfortunately that includes this poor guy.
Or more precisely, exceeding stall angle, but that is directly related to stick position. Notice how in the first part of the sequence they were in a good formation but #2 began to lose horizontal and vertical position more and more up to the excessive elevator input that caused the G-stall. I'd give pilot incapacitation a big vote here, stating well before the impact.
Was that kind of of accelerated stall? Seemed like he pulled up to catch up inside loop like some guy Commented and was that kind of an accelerated stall?
Who is the guy that says “and rolling right “ @ 3:15 just as the plane begins its roll ?. Was that the pilot ? If so, it sounds like he says “oh” as the planes flight path changes. He then says “smoke off” just before the plane hits the ground.
It keeps those who know what they're looking at away. Good commercial sense, it's called. It was a sad loss of a skilled pilot and and an increasingly rare aircraft. - and I couldn't hear anything of the aircraft's engines, so who knows if he lost power until the fan blades are dug out of the ground. Horrible.
I see a lot of comments trying to figure out what happened If you listen you can hear the pilot on coms stating his maneuver's before executing them, He says "Rolling right" at which point he "Rolls right" and it seems he rolls a bit to far right which causes him to lose the angle he was on to complete the loop which he tries to correct by rolling left right before hitting the ground but it was already to late, Impact.
One of the problems with these privately owned jets is that the owners don't fly enough to stay current. Whether they don't have the time or can't afford the fuel and maintenance...not saying this happened in this case, but, it does happen a lot.
He was a very well rounded aviator with more hours under his belt then most will ever acquire. A private owned jet fatal occurrences are very few and far between. I’d love to hear some statistics on that matter. Cheers
Every time these accidents happen, not only does the aircraft pool grow smaller, but those people screaming for safety grow larger. After so many scenarios and aftermath investigations these should not happen. Pulling out of a loop should be an easy maneuver but this accident could easily have cost the lives of paying spectators. Had he pulled up sooner he may have crashed into the tent. Ouch
He looked like he was behind the curve on the backside of that loop. Looked like he lost formation and was trying to maintain a pseudo formation but that put him too far out on that loop.
the only dumb questions are those witch are asked twice my friend. The typical smoke generator consists of a pressurized container holding a low viscosity oil such as Chevron/Texaco "Canopus 13" (formerly "Corvus Oil"). The oil is injected into the hot exhaust manifold causing it to vaporize into a huge amount of dense white smoke.
Something went wrong at 3:13. Sudden increase in G's. Seriously doubt it is pilot error. Condolences to his family and friends. Know how it feels to lose someone this way.
This was either a mechanical failure, or a heart attack (or something similar that resulted in unconsciousness). The pilot finished the loop, and was fine until the the nose abruptly pitched down. This is so sad. God bless his family, partner, and friends. R.I.P. Sir!

The blood would not have been drained from his brain as the pilots of these planes now wear specially designed outfits, which when the pilot would go into a high G-force turn, some air pockets on the pilots legs would expand automatically squeezing the blood out of there legs, to go to more vital organs such as the brain to keep the pilot from blacking out during flight, so he/she will not crash.
to many G's, the load factor was to much for the plane to fly, adding G.s is like multiplying the weight of the plane to a point that it becomes too heavy to fly.
Has there ever been an air show since 1986 where the soundtrack from "Top Gun" is not played? Ironically, according to the accident report, the crash was similar to the one in the movie, where Maverick flew into Iceman's "jet wash" and lost control...except Maverick had some altitude and time to eject...
Looks like he initiated his barrel roll earlier than he realized it seems he did not raise the nose enough so when he went inverted the nose dropped very far below the horizon resulting in inverted dive with no room to recover. Could be so many factors, easy for us sitting in chair to comment only person that really knew what happened was that pilot. R.I.P you are know in the eternal Hanger in the Sky.

No, it's a classic accelerated stall, right wing goes down, aircraft rolls inverted. I had bad feelings then he tried to catch up on the leader, cut across the top of their last dive, ending up doing the pullout lower and at higher G loading.
@@pascalchauvet7625 I had to look twice to realize that. Here is the final report, courtesy of Rodger Stone: www.caa.co.za/Accidents%20and%20Incidents%20Reports/9054.pdf You can see the still pictures explaning the accident sequence. The pilot was aerobatic rated, so no issues from training perspective, but safety briefings on the day of flight were omitted. Probably hitting the wake wortex of the lead aircraft contributed to the accident as well.
Accelerated Stall. You can visibly see the aircraft lose lift and roll. Vortices created by the lead aircraft sink. He came out of that loop below the lead aircraft. This is why smaller aircraft stay high when behind larger aircraft.
Looks to me that the formation was busted about 2:25 or there abouts and from then the second pilot was playing catch up with the lead. The final dive had the second pilot inside the loop then moving outwards to get into position then needing to over g the plane to match the leads radius. Pilot may have passed out from that over g.
Exactly my thinking, although the pilot was consios according to the final report, because he broke the stall and rolled back wings level before hitting the ground.
yep, I remember the last time there was an airshow in my town (amigo airsho, very well respected show and pilots loved flying here in El Paso before the airshow flopped) well anyway I remember that airshow my brother and I met Joe Shetterly, when my brother told him he wanted to be a doctor and a pilot (oh the dreams we had as children) Joe jokingly told my brother that doctors that were pilots always crashed cuz they were too darn arrogant and then got serious and said, "when you become a pilot always realize its not a toy and to fly the way we do is incredibly difficult and one second can mean life or death" Note that I was 12 and he was 14 at the time so what he said wasn't like something you'd tell a little kid but we were old enough to understand what he meant.

Kind of click bait - all I saw was sky then tent and a guy’s back and finally a one second view of some flames. RIP to the pilot though - how sad.
Look again, there is a stall, flick and dive too.
Looks like he lost part od thrust but still was trying to catch the leader in the loop. He pulled too hard during descend and stalled on right wing...
I agree Gary', Something was amiss, formation and speed lost. Control looked difficult.
He screwed up and stalled.
