Looks weird, could it be that he pulled too hard and g-locked for a second?

Pulled too hard and stalled, and in a Yak too :(

Probably not that simple of an answer.  This guy had just recovered from an inverted spin at about that same altitude, I have to wonder how he could not prevent/recover from a stall during the pull.  Rotation is starting as he approaches the tree as if spinning again.  Sad deal.

You're very set in your ways if a ad stops you from watching a video. Are you the kind of person who crashes their car off the highway when you see a billboard?

Looks like he stalled on pull-out, the plane rolled due to torque, and the pilot was either grayed out or blacked out from the G's.  I'm simply stating what it looked like to me.

Concur.  He had been pulling positive and negative G's prior to the incident (quite low, I thought) but the A/C appeared to be flying...not stalled.

I hate plane crashes.

Seems that the reason web sites force people who want to see actual content (even better to simply READ content) have been bombarding internet surfers so much with these "forced" ads is to get web surfers so used to being blasted with this crap that just like a puppy sitting motionless stating at a treat -- will endure all of this crap just to see the promised information.  I choose not to.  My choice.
