This was not a "high DA take off"

I will agree that the runway has a 6% slope and has higher terrain off each
end. It looked like he was taking off up slope.. the decision.. tailwind or
upslope take off. I'm sure weight and balance will be a critical part of the
accident investigation.

We were at 105F today.. our DA was 6200ft, aircraft were operating all day
with no problems on 3500ft and 4500ft long runways.

In an amazing coincidence, a Sacramento TV station was at Cameron Park
airport filming background for a story about the crash of a plane that
had departed earlier in the day and caught a second crash on video. Go
to the web site and click on "Cameron Park Plane Crash" on the right
side.

It sure looks like the pilot was taking off from a high-density
altitude airport with no flaps, downwind.
