What was the cause of the crash?
Fuel starvation'? Not likely to have a dual engine failure...

Starvation or exhaustion Warthog?

Fuel starvation = fuel in tanks but not reaching cylinders.

Fuel exhaustion = no fuel in tanks.

Which situation do you mean Warthog pls?

Could be either one of those problems.
Maybe it could be a fuel exhaustion, a week-end warrior, with the wrong attitude, "get there is'm"

Looking forward to the NTSB report, probably in flying magazine in a couple of months...

Judging from the second report, there must have been some fuel still onboard.No fatals as of yet. Something to be glad about.

well if you don't manage the fuel system properly transferring wings to mains after the right interval you will have fuel starvation, both at pretty much the same time
