The air traffic control tower advised the pilot that the winds were variable from 240 to 270 degrees at 8 knots gusting to 12 knots. As he prepared to flare, the airplane dropped to the runway, hit hard, and bounced into a nose high attitude. He added power but the nose fell through and struck the ground before he could stop it. Subsequent inspection revealed damage to the fuselage structure. The Safety Board was notified of the damage determination on July 17, 2000.
