A 0:11 you can see the plane slowing down too much with nose up. He came out of the cloud stalled and spinning, recovered too loo. He stalled in the cloud, even when those planes have a non thumbling Directional Giros and Attitutide indicators for Aerobatic Instruction. Sorry he was a Surgeon. We lost another neurosurgeon in May in NJ plus 2 others Drs in other accidents in NJ. Private Planes are the new and old too Dr. Killers.

I miss you Eilon. You were a true friend, a great lawyer and an awesome pilot. I will never forget flying with you. When your granddaughter Nolie is old enough to understand I will tell her everything I know about you. Your family and friends miss you and think of you every day counselor.

The L-39 is notorious for stalling when you pull full back on the stick. When he was exiting the manuver he noticed he was to low and panic'd and pulled hard on the stick resulting in a wing stalling and spiraled into the ground. R.I.P
