A PILOT WHO WAS IN AN AIRPLANE ON THE GROUND AWAITING TAKEOFF SAW THE AIRPLANE ON AN ANGLING BASE FOR RUNWAY 23. HE DESCRIBED THE AIRPLANE AS BEING CLOSE IN, IN A LEFT TURN FROM THE BASE LEG TO THE FINAL APPROACH COURSE. HE STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE STALLED AND ENTERED A SPIN.

THE AIRPORT MANAGER REPORTED THAT THE WIND WAS GUSTY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, ABOUT 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
