The NTSB recently released its final report on the Super Corsair crash that killed Bob Odegaard last year, and while the findings leave many questions surrounding the accident unanswered, they do provide additional details into the revered air show performer’s final flight.
Odegaard was performing a practice run at Barnes County Airport in Valley City, North Dakota, at the time of the crash, reaching altitudes of about 2,000 feet while executing maneuvers without incident. Odegaard then began a four-point roll, with one witness saying it looked like he was was performing a barrel roll due to the way the airplane pitched nose up and rolled to the left.
