I talked to Don Goetz who was the pilot on this flight. 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.

The plane accelerated slowly down the runway, lifted off in a very flat
pitch and then began to oscillate wildly when the pilot eased back on
the stick...he chopped the power and was able to get it back on the
runway in one piece - barely! 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?
