THE ACFT WAS TAKING OFF FROM AN AIRPORT WHICH WAS AN UNIMPROVED FIELD SITE. ACCORDING TO THE PLT THE ACFT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CLIMB OUT SO HE STALLED INTO THE BRUSH ALONG A CREEK BED. THE PLT SAID THE ACFT HAD DEPARTED THIS FIELD BEFORE BUT BOTH TIMES HAD A MINIMUM LOAD (PLT ONLY). THE PLT SAID HE ELECTED TO CRASH IN THE BRUSH BECAUSE OF A RIDGE AHEAD THAT WAS IN THE FLT PATH.
