I was on the field on the occasion of one fuel exhaustion episode between WOL and NWA.....when the fan stops in the air and the plane lands quietly....and then 3 guys run out with jerry cans (after lifting off the cowl and pretending something failed), then I suspect, quite rightly, fuel exhaustion. No engineers involved and aircraft airborne again within 20 mins...and you have the audacity to suggest I should have 'respect' for those pilots...get real!
As to the bit about the other C152's in 3 months and doing joy flights without an AOC, I have no idea what you are talking about - please enlighten us all?
Travelair....good points!
