When dropping heavy loads they, and water bombers, will keep straight and level, or only make small adjustments.

Pilot error, but isn't that an accident waiting to happen if the aircraft can't handle a simultaneous dump plus up elevator? Isn't it an aircraft not fit for purpose? 

You could say that but the pilot choose to use an aircraft not fit for purpose, the aircraft wasn't making the decisions here the pilot was, therefore he chose to use an aircraft that was designed to release a load at a very slow rate at level flight (crop spraying) to drop a 1500 pound load all at once and pull up, aircraft not fit for that but the pilot choose his fate, so lets not blame that aircraft its on the pilot

Fair point. But we should just make aircraft out of nano-engineered diamond. Problem solved. 👍😸 That's what cats do.
