Why would they pull up like that after what seems a normal TO?
  • They planned (or ad hoc decided to do) an aerobatic maneuver which ended badly
  • Somatogravic illusion
  • Technical problems (control surface, engine,...)
  • Health issue (anything from a bee i the cockpit to something else)
  • Cockpit management (e.g. PNF took control, made a mistake in the process)
  • Trading speed for height in order to eject
  • CoG issue (doesn't seem like it)
  • ?

    It's impossible to say which is true. But they did indeed climb, stall(?), bank so that the cockpit was pointing towards the sky and eject. Could as well be a planned ejection, with an unfortunate outcome.
