Analysis
During an air show 3 north American, AT-6, acft took off in what the plt of the 3rd acft described as 'staggered' sequence. A witness described the departures as being 'information' or in 'close proximity' to each other. The first 2 acft gained altitude without any reported difficulty. The 3rd acft climbed to abt 25 ft AGL & encountered vortex turbulence. The acft violently rolled to the right & then to the left. The plt lost control & the acft descended until it crashed onto the rwy.
