Analysis
The pilot related that he had been flying around the local area making landings at various airports for about 1 1/2 hours. He returned to the departure airport and made a full stop landing. His 12 year old son requested that he make another takeoff and landing. After taxi back, he made a takeoff and, at a low altitude, initiated a steep climbing turn to the left. He stated that the airplane stalled and crashed into the hangar roof. He and his son sustained serious injuries. There was no fire.
