Written off (destroyed) 17-02-1974: crashed on take off from Williams Gateway Airport, southeastern area of Mesa, Arizona, and 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Phoenix, in Maricopa County, Arizona. According to the NTSB report into the accident "Pilot leaned the fuel mixture control until the engine dropped in RPM. Despite this, the pilot continued the take off, but the aircraft was unable to climb, and collided with trees. The aircraft caught fire after impact.
Aircraft was near gross maximum take off weight, with five persons on board (pilot and four passengers). The pilot and one passenger were seriously injured, the other three passengers were uninjured. The thin air in the locality of the airport, which was at 7,200 feet amsl, may also have been a factor"
