UNABLE FLYING SPEED TAKING OFF ON INCH SLUSH. DID NOT ABORT BUT TRIED JUMP OFF WITH FULL FLAPS. HIT BUSHES AT END.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
