Crossing from France to Spain, I misjudged in a big way...

Leaving France, 47% should be fine.  I'll stop off in Spain, pick up half a Tank to finish the trip and voila...


Nope.  When I finally saw the coast, I had 15% left.


When I finally hit the coast, I had eight percent.


High into the mountains with only 6% left...


5%...  Maybe I should set down by this village to look for fuel...


Finally made Rozas with 2% left.


Down at last!  I am never cutting it that close again!


That was a close call.  I didn't quite realize how far it was from France to Spain!

Close call!  But at least you didn't take a dip in the drink . . .

Yer-bugger!

This has confirmed it. Either i'm shutting down one engine or i'm stopping off for a top up in Spain.

I'll try and get my next set of shots up tomorrow.

This race is starting to get really good!

lol, now that was close...

Shame on you! :-)  ;D

Don't you mean a top off in France?  ;D

Turns out it was closer than I thought...  ;)  Three gallons left per tank?  That's 2 gallons per engine!

Nice story, thanks, enjoyed it!  Thought up to now that I was the one who specialised in 'dry' arrivals!  :)

That's not just a story, we were in the middle of a race to Lisbon.  ;)
