1500’ after takeoff? Could be one of many things-—angle of attack was too steep? Micro burst or standing lenticular cloud nearby? Weight and balance off or something shifted in flight?

Who knows but dang, I would have pooped my pants.

Reports have thunderstorms in the area so microburst is a possibility.

The reports read very similar to wind shear scenarios we practice in the sim.
