A flight instructor and his student pilot made a safe emergency landing Wednesday afternoon in Warm Springs after they ran out of fuel and were forced to land their aircraft on Interstate 680 south of Mission Boulevard. It was the fifth emergency landing in the Fremont area since 1995.

Quote:

The pilot reportedly told CHP officers that he forgot to switch on the reserve fuel tank

****** landed just before I got off work. Thanks for the traffic asshat next time flip the switch.

Actually sounds like he didn't switch from one tank to the other. Some planes (like the Mooney) allow you to select what tank you're pulling gas from. None of the literature that I've been able to find mentions a reserve tank fro the Cherokee 140. Sounds like the guy might just be a moron.

He should have been able to land, traffic permiting, and roll off or push off into a shoulder in no time flat. An aircraft is an amazingly light machine. An airplane that size can be easily moved around by a small person. My grandfather owned a larger plane than that and would easily move it around alone.

As[/i]s hat should have been able to get it off the highway in quick time. Your real problem is the 8,000,000+ morons rubbernecking the whole way.

What do you know about the little people?!?!

Other legends say the little people if seen by an adult human would beg them not to say anything of their existance and would reward those who kept their word by helping them and their family out in times of need.

Are these the ones you saw moving airplanes around? You've said too much now, might as well go ahead and spill it!
