The pilot and crewmember were conducting a flight near Kaiauain, New Zealand in preparation for an air display routine at an air show when the aircraft was seen by numerous witnesses to climb and enter cloud. A short time later, the aircraft was observed to exit cloud in a steep spiralling dive that continued until the aircraft struck the sea. Both occupants were killed on impact. The aircraft was written off (damaged beyond repair).
