Prior to doing this .. did he do any kind of an abrupt pull up to
reposition? The
reason I ask is last year at an aerobatic competition one of the pilots who
bobbled a manuever a little admitted to several of us watching that after
doing
a spin and then a very steep climb imediately following the recovery he
actually
blacked out for a few seconds on the way up just prior to starting the next
maneuver.

This crash is just a sad deal and will sure need to be investigated. Just
something it reminded me of.

Mort,

Take a look at this story. This happened to an SU-29 that went into a
spin. I thought these planes can recover from almost any spin. What do
you think happened?
