Steve, a pilot friend of mine just came back from there. Said the pilot was climbing out a little too steep. They think the whole load shifted back and threw the CG back to far and the pilot wasent able to get the nose down fast enough. Gravity took over and it was over in 5 sec.

It would of been a Stall Spin. But they were only 500' off the ground so it was a Flat Spin not having enough height to start the spin. 7 good men are gone, but it happened quick. They neaver felt a thing........Tex

The gear was still down on impact.
