A flight of four airplanes were participating in an airshow. The flight leader of the demonstration team stated, they had just completed an arrowhead formation. The number 2 and number 3 airplanes moved into the diamond formation. The flight team completed the 5/8 loop portion of a 1/2 Cuban eight, set the 45-degree inverted downline, completed a 1/2 roll to the upright position, and was beginning the entry into a 'clover' loop, when the accident occurred. Witnesses and video from TV stations indicated that the flight leader, number 3, and number 4 airplanes started pulling up out of a dive to initiate the diamond 'clover' loop, when the number 2 airplane continued to descend and collided with the number 4 airplane.
