Pilots ejected but sounds like one injured and one fatal:

Must have been a trainer version, TU-2S, with student and instructor. To keep time up they also fly T-38's.

No.

Two seater. Have heard information from people in the squadron. It was a student flight where they were demonstrating stalls, and it exceeded limits and went into a spin.
