Given the time of the accident (close to midnight) I'm curious about
where he might have dropped in for fuel along the way at that time of
night. He was visiting near Syracuse, NY, and it looks like about 575
nmi to Watertown, WI, which is near the maximum range of a Piper Archer,
obviously depending on configuration.


A direct route between Hamilton NY and Watertown WI passes just a few miles
north of Muskegon MI. The FBO would have been closed by the time he was in
the area, but they probably have someone on call for after hours fuel.
