Accident Overview
An aircraft taking off from a small airstrip at McLeod Harbor on Montague Island, Alaska, collided with snow and willows beyond the departure end of the strip. The incident occurred during a takeoff attempt from the remote location.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that just as he started to rotate the aircraft for takeoff, the right gear encountered a soft spot. At that point, he felt it was too late to abort the takeoff, as doing so would cause the aircraft to run into a dry river bed. Instead, the plane mushed into the snow and willows beyond the river bed. No further details were provided in the report.
Aftermath
The aircraft came to rest in the snow and willows. The extent of damage, if any, was not specified. The pilot did not mention any injuries or other consequences.
