It crashed during a STOL landing demonstration in blustery wind conditions. Luckily it only resulted in bent metal with, as you can see, everyone climbing out and walking away. I couldn't get shots of it actually crashing including the momentary fireball as I had to duck to avoid propeller segments flying our way. At least one of the segments smashed a canopy of a military aircraft on static display behind us! See here for all photos.
