Narrative:About 1545 local time, eyewitnesses observed the pilot making low-altitude passes (200 to 300 feet) over his home. The aircraft made a tight left turn at low altitude. During the turn, the aircraft seemed to want to regain altitude, but suddenly nose-dived and crashed on the ground at an angle of 70 degrees. A fire broke out following impact with the ground. The pilot and the passenger, sole occupants of the aircraft, suffered fatal injuries.
