Circumstances:
The crew was performing a flight from El Paso to Inglewood, California, after the aircraft has been converted to a civil version, apparently to be shown to potential clients. En route, the airplane went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a field located near the Williams Airbase. All six occupants were killed. It is believed that the aircraft suffered a structural failure at high altitude.
