I am not a frequent airshow visitor but even I have seen too many "display qualified and very experienced" pilots have this sort of accident. The worst was a Breguet Atlantique at Farnborough. This looks like a classic tight turn in a strong wind gradient (quite turbulent) with insufficient airspeed. But why did he still have the brakes open?
