The pilot was practising "touch and go" manouvers. The pilot started to touch-down then suddenly went nose-up as he put on some power, then went nose-down with a crash landing in the field next to the runway. Seconds later the plane burst into flames. "He was nose up when the plane seems to have stalled," said a witness. "He was only a couple of hundred feet in the air at that point and at that height there is not enough time to correct. He went down nose first and hit hard." The entire cockpit area was reduced to ashes
