Narrative:
Was departing amiak airport runway 28, announced departure on 122.10 for traffic. No response was received for aircraft in the traffic pattern. I took off on runway 28. About 50 ft AGL I saw an aircraft approaching to land runway 10 below tree top level. I banked to right side of runway and maximum performance climb. We passed each other. I was at 500 ft AGL and never closer than 2000 ft. I know the landing aircraft has the right-of-way, and I'll pay closer attention for traffic. But in this situation, I believe the landing aircraft was equally if not more at fault than I was. He should have been on CTAF. His aircraft was not painted (straight silver). It was a bright day with snow backgnd, making him invisible until I had some altitude. I would still have been able to see him if he had not been doing a so-called bush approach at tree top level.

Title: SMA ACR ACFT DEPARTING NON TWR ARPT HAS OPPOSITE DIRECTION TFC LNDG.
Narrative: WAS DEPARTING AMIAK ARPT RWY 28, ANNOUNCED DEP ON 122.10 FOR TFC. NO RESPONSE WAS RECEIVED FOR ACFT IN THE TFC PATTERN. I TOOK OFF ON RWY 28. ABOUT 50 FT AGL I SAW AN ACFT APCHING TO LAND RWY 10 BELOW TREE TOP LEVEL. I BANKED TO R SIDE OF RWY AND MAX PERFORMANCE CLB. WE PASSED EACH OTHER. I WAS AT 500 FT AGL AND NEVER CLOSER THAN 2000 FT. I KNOW THE LNDG ACFT HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND I'LL PAY CLOSER ATTN FOR TFC. BUT IN THIS SIT, I BELIEVE THE LNDG ACFT WAS EQUALLY IF NOT MORE AT FAULT THAN I WAS. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON CTAF. HIS ACFT WAS NOT PAINTED (STRAIGHT SILVER). IT WAS A BRIGHT DAY WITH SNOW BACKGND, MAKING HIM INVISIBLE UNTIL I HAD SOME ALT. I WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE HIM IF HE HAD NOT BEEN DOING A SO-CALLED BUSH APCH AT TREE TOP LEVEL.
