Narrative:
The aircraft impacted airport terrain during an aerobatic airshow performance flight at 4 Wing, CFB Cold Lake (CYOD), Alberta. The aircraft was destroyed by the impact with terrain and the sole pilot onboard the aircraft received fatal injuries. The remainder of the Cold Lake Airshow was cancelled.
Ex BuNo 138364, N4698P.

The pilot flew from show right to left at about 500 feet above ground level (AGL) within the defined airspace for the routine, then entered a roll just before show centre. As the aircraft reached the inverted position, the roll stopped and the nose began to pitch toward the ground. The aircraft elevator was seen to move to full up deflection as the aircraft continued toward the ground in an arc until its collision with terrain, in a near-vertical position with a slight right roll.
