Narrative:
Right after liftoff, aircraft yawed to the right. It was then noticed that the right wing was venting fuel. We then effected an uneventful return and landing at deadhorse. After landing, it was determined that the right wing fuel cap had not been properly secured. Adequate training in aircraft fueling procedures, that this event described, can be avoided in the future.
