Is this in reference to his LIV(P?) having a failed departure from
Manassas Airport sometime last week (Tuesday?).  Airport rumor has it
that the pilot attempted to force the aircraft into the air, escalating
bouncing occurred, rudder and prop impacted ending in a ground loop.
Nose gear collapsed or was sheared, left main collapsed and tips
(possibly winglets) damaged.  At least one fuel cavity was breached as
there was lots of fuel around the aircraft.  Rumor has it that the plane
had about 10 hours on it and the pilot, who had flown it up from Florida
in 3 hours earlier in the week, was uninsured.  Both pilot and occupant
walked away.  Pilot supposedly said that while accelerating he rotated
to his normal takeoff attitude and when that did not work he rotated a
little more.  Don't know the weather conditions but HEF is only about
325 feet in elevation; so compared to Florida, density altitude should
not have been much of a contributor.
