AFTER ABOUT A 45 MIN WAIT AS THE NUMBER ONE ACFT FOR DEPARTURE, THE CONTROLLER INFORMED THE PLT THAT HE COULD EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL 3 MIN WAIT BECAUSE OF WAKE TURBULENCE FROM A (LARGE) EC-130 ACFT WHICH WAS APPROACHING FOR A TOUCH & GO LANDING. THE PLT ELECTED TO WAIVE THE TIME INTERVAL FOR THE WAKE TURBULENCE SEPARATON, AND AS THE EC-130 PASSED HIS POSITION THE CONTROLLER ISSUED THE PLT A CLEARANCE FOR TAKEOFF. THE ACFT CLIMBED TO BETWEEN 25 AND 50 FT AGL AND THEN IT ENCOUNTERED THE WAKE TURBULENCE. THE ACFT PITCHED DOWNWARD, ROLLED RIGHT AND DESCENDED UNTIL IT STRUCK THE RWY, 1 MINUTE, 22 SECONDS AFTER RECEIVING ITS TAKEOFF CLEARANCE.
