Landed on Hi-Way !!

Postby Jetranger » Tue Oct 13, 2015 11:50 am

Engine Quit working, cause, lack of Fuel

according to the statement tho, there was an alternative !

Andy Patrick, owner of Boise-based SP Aircraft, said the only person aboard was the pilot who ""forgot"" to use a "second fuel tank", leading the engine to quit. :doh: :doh: :doh:

Its always very difficult to come up with a convincing excuse for running out of fuel in an aeroplane, resulting in a crash... :oops: ....

The CAA/FAA are not generally amused, and your Pilots Licence may be evaporating before your very eyes..... :cry: ....!
