At 15:55 hours, the pilot flying the SU-29 was granted permission to taxi to runway no. 22 at NAS De Kooij and subsequently to start his demonstration flight. The first part of the demonstration passed without problems. The sixth manoeuvre of the flight was a looping, a vertical aerobatics figure. It is possible that this has not been fully carried out, so that the aircraft started the following aerobatics
figure, a so-called tumble, with insufficient speed. It is also possible that during the performance of this fifth aerobatics figure the aircraft lost too much energy (altitude and speed). The consequence was that the altitude remaining after the performance of the tumble was insufficient for the aircraft to accelerate to a speed with which the aircraft would be able to fly horizontally again or to climb. While the pilot tried to regain control over the aircraft, the aircraft missed an ILS antenna at short distance, subsequently hit the ground and broke into pieces. Thereby the fuel and oil that had escaped caught fire. The fire service that was almost immediately present on the scene quickly had the fire under control. The pilot was rescued from the wreck with relatively light injuries by the firemen.
