I would think that a Cessna 210 would have more range than 450 miles. But then he may have sacrificed fuel for additional passengers/cargo. Bad choice.

Aero: Thanks for the ping.

Blood et al.: DUATS says Albany to Memphis (KABY-KMEM) is 358.2nm GPS direct. I looked at a couple sites that say a 210 should go well over 500nm at max. gross with a full cabin and partial fuel. My speculation is pilot error, starting when the line boy in Albany asked him if he needed fuel and he said no.

I was talking to a Pilot frind about this yesterday - he said that more than likely the guy didn't lean out his engines after takeoff - did his fuel calc's based on lean flight but was burning fuel full-tilt-boogie. Just forgot to lean the mix.
