My post #26 I brought up the possibility of fuel starvation.
Thirsty on post #27 shut me down on my speculation.
The parallels to the event I described are uncanny. In both cases, the pilots were praised for the excellent piloting skills, front page news, interviews etc, only to have been discovered months later that they fu..ed up.
Aviation can be a cruel master.
They’ve got you on a technicality there Capt as technically she did have enough fuel. You said she “starved” the engine of fuel, which is not quite the same ;-) You were indeed spot on though! Of course everyone probably assumed that you meant she ran out of fuel.
