This is a tragic loss of a C-47 historic airplane "The Bluebonnet Belle". Fully fueled, carrying 14 passengers, headed to Oshkosh. A couple were injured, one with serious burns. The aircraft is a total loss.
From the video, it looks like the pilot attempted take-off before the wings were flying. Looks like he had plenty of unused runway. The tailwheel was still on the ground. It's been very, very hot in Burnet. Pulled up too soon, banked right,entered a stall, propeller torque rolled the plane left, left wing hit the ground and crashed & burned.
I'm amazed all managed to get out....
