THE PURPOSE OF THE LOCAL FLIGHT WAS TO TOW A GLIDER ALOFT TO A LAUNCH POINT. THE PILOT SAID HE HAD NO MEMORY OF THE ACCIDENT FLIGHT. WITNESSES SAW THE AIRCRAFT MAKE A GO AROUND FORM SHORT FINAL AS A PEDESTRIAN WALKED ACROSS THE RUNWAY APPROACH END, AND THEN EXTEND A NON-STANDARD LEFT DOWNWIND PATTERN TO ALLOW SPACE FOR A GLIDER ON A RIGHT DOWNWIND TO LAND. AFTER THE ACFT TURNED FINAL, THE WITNESSES SAW THE AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY 'PITCH 60 TO 75 DEGREES NOSE DOWN' AND ALMOST REGAINED A LEVEL FLIGHT ATTITUDE AT GROUND IMPACT 2,300 FEET FROM THE RUNWAY. TESTS OF THE AIRSPEED INDICATOR REVEALED THAT IT READ 13 MPH FAST AT THE ACFT'S POWER OFF STALL SPEED.
