Narrative:
After start of #2 engine, all engine indications appeared normal, except 'right engine oil filter bypass' annunciator for approximately 1 min. #1 engine also started normally. Departed gate at XX17 PDT with 23 passenger plus a crew of 3. Takeoff weight with fuel (2200 pounds) was 25791 pounds. OAT was 58 degree fahrenheit, wind calm, altimeter 29.98. About 7 mins later, after performing ctot/apr and automatic coarsen/P3 tests and required checklists, a method 'a' takeoff was performed on runway 25. At 100-200 ft, the right engine made popping noises and the first officer noticed a steady yaw to the right. Sba tower then asked if we'd like to return to the airport and if we'd like any other assistance. We requested to return and that we'd like crash/fire/rescue equipment standing by. Observed engine indications were approximately 10 percent torque on right engine and 107 percent on left engine. Right propeller RPM was 600-800 RPM with near zero propeller oil pressure and right wild frequency AC generator off-line. At 400-500 ft, power lever was retarded to flight idle and condition lever placed in fuel off position. There was no indication of fire. Unfortunately, due to the short duration from V1 to engine failure, close proximity to the ground, low ceiling and desire to remain in visual conditions, I was not able to recall specific engine indications. The appropriate emergency checklists were performed and the aircraft was landed without further incident. Sba tower and crash/fire/rescue crews reported 'pretty long' flames exiting the right tailpipe. Though nobody could estimate the length of the flames, sba tower reported that the aircraft took on the appearance of a comet.

Title: ENG FAILURE ON TKOF.
Narrative: AFTER START OF #2 ENG, ALL ENG INDICATIONS APPEARED NORMAL, EXCEPT 'R ENG OIL FILTER BYPASS' ANNUNCIATOR FOR APPROX 1 MIN. #1 ENG ALSO STARTED NORMALLY. DEPARTED GATE AT XX17 PDT WITH 23 PAX PLUS A CREW OF 3. TKOF WT WITH FUEL (2200 LBS) WAS 25791 LBS. OAT WAS 58 DEG FAHRENHEIT, WIND CALM, ALTIMETER 29.98. ABOUT 7 MINS LATER, AFTER PERFORMING CTOT/APR AND AUTO COARSEN/P3 TESTS AND REQUIRED CHKLISTS, A METHOD 'A' TKOF WAS PERFORMED ON RWY 25. AT 100-200 FT, THE R ENG MADE POPPING NOISES AND THE FO NOTICED A STEADY YAW TO THE R. SBA TWR THEN ASKED IF WE'D LIKE TO RETURN TO THE ARPT AND IF WE'D LIKE ANY OTHER ASSISTANCE. WE REQUESTED TO RETURN AND THAT WE'D LIKE CRASH/FIRE/RESCUE EQUIP STANDING BY. OBSERVED ENG INDICATIONS WERE APPROX 10 PERCENT TORQUE ON R ENG AND 107 PERCENT ON L ENG. R PROP RPM WAS 600-800 RPM WITH NEAR ZERO PROP OIL PRESSURE AND R WILD FREQUENCY AC GENERATOR OFF-LINE. AT 400-500 FT, PWR LEVER WAS RETARDED TO FLT IDLE AND CONDITION LEVER PLACED IN FUEL OFF POS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF FIRE. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE SHORT DURATION FROM V1 TO ENG FAILURE, CLOSE PROX TO THE GND, LOW CEILING AND DESIRE TO REMAIN IN VISUAL CONDITIONS, I WAS NOT ABLE TO RECALL SPECIFIC ENG INDICATIONS. THE APPROPRIATE EMER CHKLISTS WERE PERFORMED AND THE ACFT WAS LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. SBA TWR AND CRASH/FIRE/RESCUE CREWS RPTED 'PRETTY LONG' FLAMES EXITING THE R TAILPIPE. THOUGH NOBODY COULD ESTIMATE THE LENGTH OF THE FLAMES, SBA TWR RPTED THAT THE ACFT TOOK ON THE APPEARANCE OF A COMET.
