THE PILOT HAD BEEN FLYING IN THE AIRPORT TRAFFIC PARTERN FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.  AFTER SEVERAL TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AT THE AIRPORT, THIS LAST TAKEOFF RESULTED IN A STEEP DECENT AND CRASH INTO A TAXIWAY.

THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP IN A FIELD ON THE AIRPORT.  FIRE DEPARTMENT AND LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO THE SCENE.
