A single-engine Super Cub crashed on take-off from Ken Jernstedt Airfield in Hood River. Witnesses reported hearing the engine cut out, at which point the plane nosed down and turned to the right before striking the ground at a steep angle.

The FAA and NTSB were notified and will assume primary responsibility for investigation of the crash.
