 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?
