C206 Super Skylane, not plain Jane C182. And that's my boy Hollis flying. Got the text late last night. Glad he's okay!
Good Job, glad he is OK too
It's an amazing occurrence when an aircraft is "forced" to land on a highway, it then "inspected by aviation officials" and then is magically safe and able to once again fly! In some parts, they call this condition... Out of gas.
If he ran out of fuel you are so right. That's not good pilotage, just the opposite. Too many people have been killed over the years for such stupidity and carelessness.
Don't think it was gas. Not sure what it was but if it had been gas, media would have been all over it.
Have to wait for the report but I recall a guy in a Bonanza trying to make that trip years ago from Ohio and made it into the pattern at that airport. Killed himself and his flight instructor with him is paralyzed for life. Almost enough fuel....but not quite.
Well, it did not say anything about any maintenance so it may be. Like you say, we'll wait for the report.
