Default Partner stranded in KDTA Utah-Alternator
This is a far flung place but you never know with VAF-
anyone around here?
He has minimal tools but cowl is off and the Alternator is still hanging on the engine- a good thing,
He does have a hand held radio and may try to get it started and arrive at KSUN Idaho for a fix.
RV6A N113BM
Thanks for any help!!

Didn't see this till this morning, I'm not terribly far away if there is something I could help with. What does he need?

Does he have a cellphone? Too little info to help as of now

From what little I can gather from Airnav, this looks like a scenario I envisioned when I was in Wells NV on a hot summer day. No one apparently around. Essentially a "deserted" airport.

Quite a difference from when an RV pilot developed a flat tire at 00V a few weeks ago. There were four or more people who helped to get the repair made and get him on his way.
