Low fuel emergency in DFW

Airport B can be considered to be just as close as airport A. If it were me, I'd spiral down rather than head to the farther airport. Given the number of options that I'd no longer have, that just seems the safer plan. I'd hate to be gliding to the farther airport only to hit a wind shift or some other event which changes the farther airport from "in glide range" to "out of glide range". That would be embarrassing. Of course, I'm no glider pilot. They forever operate in what we powered pilots call emergency circumstances, so they'd have a different perspective laugh. - Andrew
