Read the full NTSB narrative
The vintage airplane overran the departure end of the runway during an aborted takeoff following a loss of engine power. The 12,450-hour pilot stated that right after rotation, while the airplane was about 10 feet off the runway, the airplane "shook" and the engine lost power. The aircraft subsequently settled back into the runway; however, the pilot was not able to stop the airplane in the 1,000 feet of runway remaining. A tower controller reported seeing a "puff of smoke" coming from the engine about the time the airplane became airborne. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway, impacted the perimeter fence, and came to rest in a field. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
