Seems to me that he was at 7000' over flatlands with an airport 7 miles away
(according to the newspaper, which we all know is right all the time).

Seems to me that 7 miles is gliding distance at this altitude, no?

Our local paper where this happened said, "A mechanic ultimately determined
that Suleman's carb had frozen because of an improper fuel mix."

As someone who has only flown fuel injected planes I have no idea is that
makes sense, sounds like the "Daily Reporter" got this wrong.

Improper fuel mix? That must be the old 1970 Piper two stroke that I
heard about.
