| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was taking off on runway 33. As the tail started coming off the ground, the plane veered off to the left and "accelerated into a typical ground loop." After the accident, four witnesses approached the pilot and told him that right after he added power, the wind sock swung around into a 90-degree crosswind and that a strong gust moved across the field. The pilot said that age was slowly "having its effect," and was slowing his reaction time.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff in gusting crosswind conditions.
