Witness Account
According to a witness who observed the pilot and a passenger load the airplane and take off, the cargo area was completely filled up to the ceiling of the aircraft. The witness noted that the takeoff roll was short.
Takeoff and Initial Climb
Immediately after lifting off, the airplane rose with a very nose-high attitude until reaching an altitude of approximately 100 feet above the ground. The witness stated that the pilot appeared to be having trouble keeping the nose of the aircraft down.
Loss of Control and Collision
As the airplane flew past the end of the airstrip, it executed a steep bank to the right. After stabilizing momentarily, the aircraft rolled inverted, nosed over, and dove into the ground.
