The engine quit on take off so Don put it back on the runway with no damage fortunately. The thinking is that the fuel pick up is not correct and a momentary fuel flow lapse caused the burp. They are going to put the tail down and see if that causes a replication of the event. Turbines can flame out when fuel flow is interrupted and need to go thru a restart unlike pistons. Since this one did restart is must have been a momentary bubble that caused the burp.

I was right in the middle of pre-flighting the T-28 for my check ride so I didn't have time to go over and find out what happened. Anybody have any scoop on this? """
