Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING AN AIR SHOW PERFORMANCE, THE PILOT PERFORMED A HIGH SPEED LOW PASS DOWN THE RUNWAY. WHEN THE AIRPLANE WAS NEAR SHOW CENTER, THE PILOT INITIATED A LEFT ROLL. WITNESSES STATED THAT ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE ROLL, THE RIGHT WING TIP STRUCK THE GROUND. THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED TERRAIN IN A GRASSY FIELD ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY, AND A POST-CRASH FIRE ENSUED. A POST-ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF ANY PREIMPACT MECHANICAL ANOMALY.
