HE INDICATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT ACCELERATE AS WELL AS EXPECTED, BUT INSTEAD OF ABORTING THE TAKEOFF, HE CONTINUED THE TAKEOFF ROLL. THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, ACROSS A ROAD, HIT A BERM, AND BRIEFLY BECAME AIRBORNE UNTIL IMPACTING THE GROUND APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET FROM THE END OF RUNWAY 18. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE, AND THE PILOT AND HIS PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES.
