Flames, yes.
A bit of white smoke, occasionally.
First time I've seen that degree of brown/black smoke.

The Tutor is a 1960s era aircraft - does it still use the Weber seats?

An observer saw the pilot "20 feet off the ground" and his parachute was still straight up. The nurse who worked on the passenger said her seat was beside her and the parachute was trailed but not open. Nurse interviewed on CBC an hour ago. She said she cannot believe the pilot survived.
