Wow that looks like more than just an "incident".

Default useless things

Three things that are useless to pilots:

1. Runway behind 'em.
2. Altitude above 'em.
3. Gas on the ground.

I sometimes wonder why pilots allow themselves to run close on fuel.

Odd how the newspaper reporter could make that determination, and it takes the NTSB how long? I don't think the reporter is likely to even know the difference between fuel exhaustion and starvation. As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out; not enough data yet.

Default RV10 upside down

Is this the first 10 to flip? For the most part they tend to finish upright,bent but up right. Glad no pilots or cows were hurt!
