(-23) ^PRIVACY DATA ^ THE PILOT OF N5655H REPORTED THAT AS HE ACCELERATED FOR TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 27 AT URBANA-FRASCA FIELD, THE AIRCRAFT TAIL HAD JUST COME UP WHEN THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND ENTERED SOME STANDING CORN IN THE ADJACENT FIELD.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
