Accident at KYLE SK (CJB8)
Summary
1996-07-03: The pilot and only occupant of the spray equipped Pezetel Dromader began his departure from runway 26 at Kyle, Saskatchewan. The load was a mixture of Buteril and Achieve which was approximately 465 US gallons. The pilot reported that shortly after lift-off a loss of lift caused the aircraft to strike a slough and then hit a ditch which caused a tire to blow. The aircraft then landed in a field and groundlooped causing substantial damage to the wing. The pilot did not jettison the load. Warm temperatures and a cross wind component may have contributed to the lack of performance.
