It’s evident that just after the apex of loop; the formation performed the bomburst manoeuvre and one of the team members lost complete control and hit the ground in a nose dive. Although it appears that just short of impact, the pilot had regained the control of the aircraft but with little height remaining to recover, he impacted the ground with wings level but in a steep dive.


The possible reasons could be engine failure after apex, loss of flight control, any other structural /mechanical failure, pilot disorientation or momentarily loss of situational awareness after loop.


Every pilot who performs such manoeuvres’ at these low altitudes is fully aware of the hazards that are associated. An awful lot of aircrafts have gone done in air shows with pilots still strapped to seats. But as it is said: The show must go on.....


May the departed ones rest in peace and deepest condolences to the bereaved families.

RIP to pilots, I sometimes feel that these people take risk for their life to make sure we are safe. We civilians should understand this and have respect for these people irrespective of their country.

My initial assertion was that the pilot blacked out but it has transpired that it was a two man crew with side by side seatings hence it's highly unlikely for both to pass out. Evidentially after executing the bomb burst, the aircraft went into a nose dive points to the loss of flight control. At this point as the pilots desperately tried to regain control , the flight experienced some fluctuation, but the dive was too steep for the aircraft to recover.
