To Funfly; Agreed ........... clearly a hi-speed stall under high g-loading causing the aircraft trajectory to suddenly flatten out due to loss of wing lift.
What a tragedy.
But can anybody tell me why the Hunter was carrying drop-tanks? these are intended for extended duration sorties, not air display maneuvers!
Besides adding weight and drag, they obviously affect maneuverability to some degree.
