Re-visiting the 1999 Hawk 200 Crash
I was stood next to my jet watching this live in Bratislava. It was horrendous to watch such a nice chap lose his life having been chatting to him just beforehand.
I have a few Hawk hours and sadly have to agree with the high speed stall theory - the wing rock you see (and the rumble i heard while watching) is typical of the Hawk at high AoA in heavy buffet. On the day the wind was much stronger than the practise the day before; not sure if this may have affected his sight picture at the top of any manoeuvres by being in a different position over the runway??
