Mysterious case of the "missing" fuel!
Seems that Mr Steve Fossett's solo round the world attempt with the Global Flyer may be in jeopardy due to what the operations team are calling "missing" fuel! The team are reporting that the aircraft has 15% less fuel than what it should actually have!!
Now here is a question for you guys.......How do you misplace fuel?!! I've misplaced my pants before but have never nor do I believe that I will ever be responsible for misplacing fuel!!! Why can't they just admit that the screwed up and actually say "well we actually put 15% less fuel than what we actually needed!"
