A 19 KT TAILWIND PREVAILED AS THE PILOT TAXIED THE AIRPLANE ON A PARALLEL TAXIWAY ON HIS WAY TO THE ACTIVE RUNWAY.

THE PILOT ADDED POWER TO REGAIN CONTROL, AND THE AIRPLANE BECAME AIRBORNE. THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN ON DOWNWARD SLOPING TERRAIN, STRUCK A FENCE, IMPACTED A DRAINAGE DITCH, CROSSED THE AIRPORT PERIMETER ROAD, AND CAME TO REST ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT PERIMETER FENCE.
