Plane Crash
 

A plane crashed into the bogs down the street from my house. seems the guy went out to take pictures and forgot to fill up with fuel:wall: what a Jack A##. They walked away from it unhurt.

Mike which bog?? I saw a helicopter hovering around up pretty high when I came home today was wondering what he was doing

Blackmore Pond Bogs

Lucky SOB - he should go buy some lottery tickets today as well !

Glad he didn't kill some one.

Isn't that one of the first things you do when you start a car up - check how much fuel you have before you decide to go on a road trip...... LOL

Lets see.....Camera? Check! Film? Check! Batteries? Check! Brains?............Uh.....Brains?:smash:

I feel sorry for the guy who ownes the Bogs . They are talking that they may be contaminated. They would start picking them in a week or 2. Possibly a whole years work for nothing.

That is a shame :(, hope the pilot has insurance to pay for a ruined crop. Sounds like he won't have to worry about gas contamination though :doh:

Funny thing---for all the flying I did in my younger days, I never once saw "check fuel level" on a checklist. "Boost pumps on"? Sure. "Mixture full rich"? Naturally. I guess "check fuel gauge" basically was assumed. :doh:

Besides, it's almost an article of religion to keep full tanks to prevent condensation and water contamination. And checking for water contamination is on the pre-flight "walk around" checklist.

Du-ohh! Hey Daryl why did the engine cut out?:faga:

Hopefully the plane is insured and the bog owner gets reimbursed accordingly. Thankfully he didn't hurt anyone on the ground or himself.
