Bobby Thanks for your thoughts and thanks to all. That is what all are telling me and I will, just need some time to look at all of it. I know now that I would have looked at my fuel sight more in flight. The thing is that after I took off I leveled off at 3500 and pulled back for 120mph after all looked good. looked at the sight and there was about 6 to 6 1/2 gal for a 15min flight so I thought that I would make it fine w/2hrs of fuel why look so much? But I think that if 5min in to the flight or so I looked at the sight I would have seen that the fuel was getting lower and could have put it down on a road or even mad it back. Food for thought next time I go flying! It is funny that when it's a nice out and things are fine that is when we are in most danger, but when we are in danger we pay more attention. I guess you could say that the scabs have been pulled from my eyes. Thanks for all you advice. William.

It makes you a much more astute pilot than the guys that have never had an emergency. There is also quite a psychological process that goes with it. Don't wait......Get back in the saddle........Bobby _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html --------------------------------- Yahoo!
