Ran out of fuel?
That's incredible and very negligent.

“training plane”? Must have been a student pilot to let himself run out of fuel.

They are, however, wonderful sights to see. We have had three days here in Central Contra Costa County, CA, of constant overflights of a WWII B-17, taking people for rides between Livermore and Concord as regular as clockwork.

Fortunately, the pilot’s and passenger’s injuries were minor and the PT-23 is repairable. The old adage “any landing you can walk away from is a good landing” applies here.

This happened to a Boeing Stratoliner that had just been completely restored. It landed in Elliot bay just west of downtown Seattle near West Seattle in very shallow water. I was able to see it from my downtown office.
Same cause. They give them “just enough” fuel for the trip and it ran out of gas. The good news is that they did “re-” restore it.

Put a speed ring on it, and it would be quite pretty.

Three most useless things to a pilot are: 1)altitude above you 2)Ideas you haven’t thought of yet and 3)fuel left in the fuel truck.

The engine may have suffered a vacuum loss: a critical condition that occurs when the available fuel supply in the tank is replaced by air.
