At first, she’s flying east, then she turns left to the northeast, then she turns right to the southeast,
perhaps for a straight-in final for runway 13? (see diagram)

How does one stall at 180 mph on straight-in short final in an Extra? That would require a +9G pull, right?

Update: engine failure. Landed on runway at 180 mph, apparently 8000 feet of runway wasn’t long enough.

Don't trust those flight aware speeds.

The trick is that they are ground speeds (not airspeeds) from the ADS-B GPS and you have to confirm mph vs knots.

In this case the wind was 070/6 and a local confirmed the 180 mph landing which resulted in the substantial overrun of the 8000 foot runway.

The tower tapes mention a failed engine. Listen to them.

Also with Flightaware, it tries to smooth over discontinuities. You have to look at the raw data log, not their representation of it.
