The accident was preceded by multiple snap rolls on a 45 down, and the snaps changed direction prior to impact.

Among those I've spoken to, G-LOC is suspected.

Three days ago, in Santiago, Chile, the No. 4 Extra 300L of the local air force display team Halcones landed rather hard :shock:

... the pilot survived. Lucky man, I suppose.
