N806PB was on a photo assignment when the engine's oil pressure decreased and the engine RPM increased. The pilot decided to turn back to CYQS but could not make it back before the engine shut down. The pilot elected to land in a field short of the airport. The field was soft and on landing the nose gear of the aircraft dug into the ground and the aircraft flipped onto its canopy. The pilot had to dig himself out of the overturned airplane. The gear, canopy, propeller and tail of the aircraft received considerable damage. The pilot was released from hospital with minor cuts and bruises to his ribs.
The airplane was piloted by Peter Besenyei, who used this airplane to compete in the Red Bull Air Race.
