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.


A go-around? Forget to retract the flaps?


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