Point being, the pilot had done this move many times before and had logged up a huge amount of flying hours in this particular aircraft. Right now all anyone can do really is speculate until the crash is looked into some more.

Yeah, the pilot was practicing for an upcoming airshow and the jet then did what it did. As for why, I'm going to stick with it was the aerodynamic problem I mentioned before. That's what it looks like to me anyway.
