saw more footage, it happened right at the end of the runway, they crashed in front of all spectators.
"no paying customers" phew. but still terrible for those flying, they never had time realize what happened.

First video I saw was from a far, i thought a loop
but this is flat bend, loosing altitude..
It does not look like hes pulling in the bend just before impact.. but tapering off and loosing altitude.. just like in that Air Race crash

At the speed he was going, such a sharp turn, pilot might have blacked out.
WW2 warbirds were capable of blacking out their pilots, it happened then as well.
US was actually first to implement G suits , during WW2

but to then also take out the B17 along with it.. terrible freak accident ..
