Interesting that none of our local Columbus newspapers have any mention
of the report.


All I can say is the accident happened in Rock Hill, SC and two of the guys
were
raised around here. In your case, although the men involved were "from
there", they crashed here.

I personally knew the owner, as he belonged to the same flying club. The
aircraft was for sale and the owner was in the process of purchasing a
"newer" Bo.

Maybe you could give your local paper a heads up?

I was thinking about doing that.

And whoever said they mismanaged the fuel was right on target. From what I
read, it didn't look like any of the tanks really had much left in it... 2-3
gallons each. I was the guy who said the NTSB would find pilot error, no
matter what. No surprise there.

Recall that this aircraft had something like nine separate fuel tanks.
The aircraft had been flown around the world by it's first owner, who
had all the extra tanks installed.
