As I remember, there was/is a stunt pilot whose plane of choice was an AC 500.

Bob Hoover was a ledgendary airshow performer who flew the Shrike Commander 500. His videos are all over Youtube and are something to see.
This accident reads like a classic Vmc rollover which has claimed thousands of pilots including a former instructor of mine.

Legendary pilot Bob Hoover did aerobatics in a 500S which is a later version of the 500B. The one I owned a 1958 500 which was the first in the 500 series . Great flying airplane.
