The aircraft had departed IFR flight enroute for scheduled upset recovery training, during which the aircraft inadvertedly entered a high speed dive and the wings snapped off during a recovery attempt where loads approached or exceeded 7 Gs. No previous metal fatigue was discovered during the investigation.
