On takeoff at approx 100ft AGL and turning right to parallel RWY24, the
aircraft experienced total loss of engine power and impacted a stand of willow
trees, getting lodged 6m above the ground. The pilot climbed down and is uninjured.
Vintage Aviator spokesman Gene DeMarco said the plane had been disassembled in the tree and carefully removed. "She needs a little repair but we'll get her going again."
