This video is utterly hilarious. Bit of a big download.
Seems like the fellow wrecked another two aircraft within a year of this accident.
Proves the crashworthiness of a Maule...

What an ar$sehole! You'd think he'd be really careful about the climb-out after having clipped the tree on the way in...!
Great video!

Ah, but: "...the wind decreased to zero during the takeoff...", Andy :hmm: :rolleyes:
NTSB info here (http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001207X04404&key=1). (OK, I admit to being sad looking it up - but Googling takes the mind off yet more $%^%£ turkey sandwiches :{ )

His two other accident reports from 1995/6, as quoted on suprcub.org, also indicate that the pilot noted wind changes on take-off.

QDM, thanks for mentioning supercub.org, which also has this video: Grumman Goose accident (http://www.havasreti.com/images/goose.wmv )
The background to the accident is also on that site (http://www.supercub.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9119); the footage even made it into a movie called "Endless Summer II" :hmm:
Bonehead Bush..Bonehead Bush..Bonehead Bush..
Still has a ring to it if you say it a couple of times..
