Good eye... I'm surprised you missed the 'Sierra 200" on the fuselage and the 'Cheetah
200' in the video's description.

Hi Doug,
It is an Australian designed Morgan Aeroworks Sierra 200 and Jabiru-powered. The Ferris wheel is part of a show that comes to town once a year, so maybe the pilot didn't realize it was even there when he started his take-off run. I hope not, otherwise why didn't he miss it ?

You got me, J. I should have looked harder.
I was unfamiliar with the plane. It would seem to have some difficulty climbing, even if someone decided to have a carnival just off the end of the runway.

Another report said that the pilot had just performed a touch & go and also that the ferris wheel had been placed just off the end of the runway. I suppose that during a touch & go you could have just focused on the runway during descent and then the nose could have been too high of an angle to see the ferris wheel after rotation. Even if you saw the fair during the pattern I think it is plausible that you could not know that there was an obstacle to watch out for if you had just aborted a landing and couldn't see around your nose?

The airstrip has 500 yard runway, and the fair comes to town once a year. This year they placed the Ferris wheel close to the end of the runway. Apparently the aircraft was coming in to land and decided to go-around. Either due to engine failure or poor performance, it ended up in the Ferris wheel.....
