Read the full NTSB narrative
Shortly after takeoff the pilot reported that he had an engine problem and requested to return to the airport. The controller cleared the flight to land on any runway. A witness reported hearing only one engine running. The pilot maneuvered west of the airport and subsequently collided with trees and burst into flames. Both propellers revealed low-pitch blade angle. No evidence of mechanical malfunction was found.
