Any thoughts on this? Maybe if they had asked God to put more fuel in before they set off?"

SkyArrow has a big tank. The gauge is hard to miss and obviously God wants to keep his dimwits alive! Frankly the whole thing reeks of bad airmanship. Where were their maps? If flying in a remote area would you not plot any strip available even if not printed [private/unregistered etc]? Nearly a ridge too far and absolutely nothing to do with God, whoever she is? I think this is a bull!!!! Bible punchers made up story. 'A' they knew there was a strip there [Bible quotes on any normal airstrip?] 'B' Bet they were low but just closed the throttle at the ridge top! Cynical old aetheist that I am.
PS I don't think that Skyarrow is a Microlight but in the Spamcan ["Real Aeroplane" !!!!] category but you can actually see where you are going and what else is around!
