THE PLT WAS EXECUTING A HIGH SPEED PASS OVER THE RWY AT ABOUT 250 FT
AGL. THE PLT THEN BEGAN A RAPID PULL-UP & BOTH WINGS SEPARATED JUST
OUTBOARD OF THE ENG NACELLES. RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SEQUENCE FROM A
VIDEOTAPE REVEALED THAT THE ACFT'S SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE WING
SEPARATIONS WAS 220 KTS. VNE FOR THE ACFT IS 193 KTS. IT WAS CALCULATED
THAT, AT 220 KTS & AN 8 DEG NOSE-UP PITCH, THE 'G' LOAD AT THE
TIME OF THE WING SEPARATIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN 8.3 G'S.

One word:

Wooops! :-((
