From what I hear this guy totally went outside the flight envelope -ALL- the time. Story is that the guys in his crew were even afraid to fly with him. In fact, that day they told people to stay home and not come out because they were practicing. If you look hard enough in some of the photos you can see the guy on the bottom of the plane trying to eject right before it crashes but I'd imagine he just shot himself into the ground.

Very sad. "There are bold pilots and old pilots... but there are no old, bold pilots."
