In an amazing coincidence, a Sacramento TV station was at Cameron Park
airport filming background for a story about the crash of a plane that
had departed earlier in the day and caught a second crash on video. Go
to the web site and click on "Cameron Park Plane Crash" on the right
side.

It sure looks like the pilot was taking off from a high-density
altitude airport with no flaps, downwind.

Who in their right mind would attempt a downwind, short field take-off
at high-density altitude into rising terrain? Just thinking about it
makes me pucker. What was this guy thinking? You can tell he had a
fair amount of a tail-wind by the movement of the tree branches in the
foreground.

Its not a shorf field by any stretch. The altitude at our airport is
1200'.
