A rare combat veteran (with MiG-15's) Sea-Fury was destroyed along with the pilot during an air show in Canada

Media reports have the 'Fury as "stalled in a low right turn -- approximately at a 60 degree bank -- rolled inverted, and crashed"

The AirCentre Air Safety Hints page mentions the danger of low-level turns and 'G' pull

Quote:- If all forces on a turning airplane were balanced - as in the diagram - the airplane would not turn. Its center of mass would move in a straight line at constant speed (Newtons 1st Law)
