The Cessna 150 landed on the 2,800-foot-long, turf runway without incident. With the engine continuing to run, the airport owner exited the airplane, and another passenger boarded the airplane. The pilot conducted an engine run-up, with a corresponding magneto check, and then departed to the west. The airport owner did not observe the pilot extend wing flaps for takeoff. The airplane lifted off about two-thirds down the runway, and cleared the power lines and treetops at the end of the runway. The airplane then made a sharp right turn and descended to the ground. Examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal evidence of any mechanical malfunctions.
