NTSB summary
On September 20, 2025, about 1724 central daylight time, a North American T-6G airplane, N32SZ, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Lousie, Texas. The pilot and passenger sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight. A local fly-in was being held with a flour drop competition between the various attendees which included the accident airplane. During the competition, the accident airplane was sequenced behind two Boeing Stearman airplanes and ahead of a fourth Stearman. The accident airplane had already completed one competition pass and had reentered the left traffic pattern when the accident occurred (see figure 1). Figure 1. ADS-B flight track. A witness cellphone video recording of the accident showed a fifth airplane sitting on the runway with the lead Stearman passing over head on short final. A second Stearman was seen in the distance on a left base traffic pattern leg. The accident airplane was seen in an inverted right descending roll while on a left base for the runway. The airplane was then seen rolling left to about a right 90° bank and entering a nose down pitch attitude before disappearing behind a tree line. (see figure 2). A witness, who was seated in the fourth Stearman, reported that the accident airplane was in a left turn for the base leg when it suddenly “snapped right” and then entered a “falling leaf” descent that continued until it impacted terrain.
