Accident Overview
A pilot reported that during an approach to land, he observed tape across the runway. He remained airborne until the aircraft passed over the taped area, then landed on the runway. The pilot described the runway as rough and bumpy. The aircraft was still moving fast halfway down the runway, so the pilot elected to go around. As the aircraft took off, it cleared the end of the runway but reportedly got hit by a strong gust from the side and subsequently collided with a tree and crashed.
