Analysis
The pilot departed bethany, Oklahoma on a local pleasure flight with the fuel tanks slightly less than 1/2 full. After about a 1.5 hour flight, he landed at the red rock airport in Hinton, Oklahoma. No service was performed on the aircraft while in Hinton and on the ensuing initial climbout after takeoff, there was a loss of power due to fuel exhaustion. The acft reached about 200 ft AGL before it began losing alt. The plt said he lowered 10 degrees of flaps before the acft collided with small trees and nosed down into the ground. The plt did not file an acc report.
