As a commercial pilot license holder, I was in awe of his skills. None did it better than Jim Tweto!

"when the Cessna 180 he was flying failed to gain altitude after takeoff"
I wonder what caused the tragic accident? Certainly had nothing to do with his flying skills.
Perhaps a worn out part that was missed during inspection, and should have been replaced?
A wing hit a tree as he was unable to gain altitude. Had to be a horrible few seconds.
