I paid special attention to it at the show because Ive never seen one before. So i watched her take off, not much later I noticed her nose up to the sky, nearly got to the top, stalled not enough speed, banked over tried to pull out at the bottom, but was to late. I remember it fairly well, most of the other peeps watch watching the other aircraft. When I seen her heading for the ground I shouted (insert here) pull out, might have been instict but then everyone was fixated on where I was looking, then a big poof of smoke. I then looked over to the fire service, shouting like mad at them they looked around but didnt go straight out to them very sad day.
My wife asked if we could go home, I agreed.
