SEVERAL BLACK BEARS WERE SPOTTED IN A NARROW CANYON AND THE PILOT BEGAN MAKING TIGHT, DESCENDING TURNS SO HIS SIGHTSEEING PASSENGERS COULD GET PHOTOGRAPHS. REPORTEDLY, THE STALL WARNING HORN CAME ON, BUT THE PILOT CONTINUED THE TURNS. HE FINALLY ROLLED OUT OF THE TURN, BUT WAS HEADED UPHILL IN THE VALLEY. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN AIRSPEED WHILE CLIMBING UP THE VALLEY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED AND NOSED OVER.
