The other day I heard a (very) short news blip about a jump-plane
that had caught fire during take-off roll (or something like that).
Apparently everyone got out in time. Has anyone heard any further
info on this alleged mishap? Like, who, what, when, where, why,
and how?

It threw a prop on takeoff, The engine caught fire and the pilot aborted the takeoff. All aboard escaped without injury before the fire spread and consumed the whole aircraft. -- Made in New Zealand --> Brent Callaghan AT&T Information Systems, Lincroft, NJ {ihnp4|mtuxo|pegasus}!phoenix!brent (201) 576-3475
