I wonder what would have happened if he would have called 30 minutes
before running out of gas and had the Coast Guard giving him "Flight
Following" Maybe they could have got there before the plane sank. I don't
even know if that was a possibility. Just a thought.


I don't know what his route was, but thirty minutes earlier he was probably
over land east of the lake.
