Default NTSB report out - April 2011

An NTSB reported stall mishap involving a AirNet Piper Navajo in Richmond, VA on April 11, 2011. Might be some good points to draw from this mishap. Mr. Carr is certainly lucky to be alive. 60% burns are often fatal!

New report cites pilot error as cause of RIC crash - NBC12.com - Richmond, VA News, Weather, Traffic & Sports

Seems to imply that he tried a fighter take-off but forgot his afterburners?

Sounds like CG shift initially, but the report specifically discards that possibility.
Night VMC, mechanically sound, pretty experienced pilot, etc...

Possibly too much experience and that MACHO attitude kicking in.
