Two 9th grade girls die in Young Eagles flight

[John Ammeter]

I don't have any details other than that a PA-28 with pilot and two 9th
grade girls crashed on takeoff from Paine Field this weekend. They were
on a Young Eagles flight per the newspaper. No names have been released
yet. Story in the paper was that the plane attempted a landing and then
made a "quick" takeoff. It was described as in a steep climb when it
turned to the side and went down in the trees past the end of the runway.

Both the girls and the pilot died in the crash.

A go-around? Forget to retract the flaps?

FAA preliminary report says "ACFT REPORTED LOSS OF POWER SHORTLY AFTER
DEPARTURE".
