Analysis
The plt and pax were returning from a LCL flt. Two fss specialists observed the glider on final approach to rwy 20. They stated that the acft completed two 360 degree turns with 90 degrees of bank. The glider was in the third 360 degree turn when the witnesses saw the nose of the acft rise slightly then fall to a near vertical attitude. The acft impacted the ground approximately 1/2 mile from the approach end of rwy 20.
