On June 24, 1994 upon preparing to land at the end of the practice airshow profile, the crew was required to execute a "go around" or missed approach because of another aircraft on the runway. At mid-field the aircraft began a tight 360 degree left turn around the control tower at only 250 feet altitude. Approximately three quarters of the way through the turn the aircraft banked past 90 degrees, stalled, clipped a power line with the left wing and impacted the ground. There were no survivors. The crew was: Lt Col Arthur A. "Bud" Holland - Aircraft commander, Lt Col Mark C. McGeehan of Chester, WV - Co-pilot, Lt Col Kenneth S. Huston of Avenal, CA - Radar navigator, Col Robert E. Wolff of Chicago, IL, Safety observer.
