Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk N6715A
Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk N671SA (msn 67001), at the SBAC Farnborough Airshow, held between 1-8 September 1974. N6715A crashed while conducting a low-level aerobatic demonstration at the Farnborough Airshow on 1 September 1974. The crew misjudged their pitch in a low-level roll manoeuvre causing the nose to drop below the horizon: they attempted to recover from their inverted position by performing a Splits manoeuvre, but they were too close to the ground and the aircraft struck the ground in a level attitude and immediately burst into flame. Sikorsky test pilot Stu Craig died on impact, and test pilot Kurt Cannon died nine days later from his injuries. Development work on the S-67 ceased after this accident. Date: 1974
