N550LX. The pilot aborted his initial takeoff attempt at 2:30 on the below feed, reporting to tower "a little shimmy in my landing gear, I want to check it out." The accident occurred during his subsequent departure, beginning at 9:15 (no accident sounds recorded.)...

One would think the pilot would've used up all his luck by surviving a crash in a box canyon. Or maybe it just takes 30 years (give or take a transmission tower) to... recharge it?

"Shortly after takeoff from the Indianapolis Regional Airport, 3867 N Aviation Way, Greenfield, pilot Timothy Borrup, 54, Palm Bay, Fla., told officials he experienced engine issues in the Cirrus Vision SF50 aircraft and headed back to the airport for an emergency landing."...

Even when not in formation per se, larger/slower aircraft have taken the outside track in shows I've seen as they take wider turns.

The aircraft is a 2018 model, so very likely a servicing issue.

Prelim released: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/105890/pdf "A security video camera located on the southeast side of the airport, adjacent to the runway 21 threshold, and facing north, captured the final landing approach segment. The video showed...

The Skyhawk's tracking data is blocked through the Limited Aircraft Data Displayed, or LADD program, which essentially prohibits the FAA from sharing ADS-B-derived tracking information with commercial tracking sites like FlightAware. However, raw ADS-B Out data can still be picked up by...

Minor points: Booster #1 successfully performed liftoff, ascent and capsule sep staging, but failed during the (company's first-ever) landing attempt. And BO fully expected to lose Booster #2 during the capsule abort test, but it survived and made a successful propulsive landing. So far, New...

It would indeed appear so. https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/105704/pdf "A post-accident examination of the airplane revealed a nose-low, low-speed impact with terrain, consistent with an aerodynamic stall. There was no fuel in either wing tank...

Early models were notoriously light in pitch, even for LSA. Later builds (including, I'd assume, PiperSports like this one) are reportedly a bit better but those I've talked with who've flown them have said control forces are still not particularly well-harmonized?

“I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things. I read POA to bring it right back again."

She has since bugged out, it would seem. Good riddance.

Short answer: the outsized influence of 'traditional' A&Ps familiar with the (antiquated, heavier and less efficient) O-200, who successfully convinced Cessna they wouldn't invest the funds and time to support a Rotax. Which, for some at least, turned out to be exactly the right call.

If the victims correspond to the registered owner, they split their time between NY and NM. The plane appears to have been in Santa Fe since June 15.
