Note: It was
at the CAF airshow where 7079G (re)broke the spar.
The incident occured during a banked turn, not a loop.
IIRC
the spar had been previously repaired and was the subject of some litigation.
The majority of the
wing spar cracks are concerned with the A-26 is due to one of the wing bolt mounting holes on the rear wing spar of the wing
section....not the attachement point on the fuselage.
Evidentley there is a pop noise it makes when one
goes under heavy loading.
