Circumstances:
The crew was completing a crop-spraying flight in the region of Tayinsha, North Kazakhstan. While flying at a height of about 10-15 metres, the crew wanted to impress a group of women working in the field, initiated risky manoeuvres and eventually lost control of the aircraft that rolled steeply to the left and crashed upside down. The aircraft was destroyed and both pilots were seriously injured. Few days later, one of them died from his injuries.
