Me too. One time flying my 310, I inteneded to switch to aux tank, but went to cross feed by mistake. then just as I was getting ready to land at home I noticed that my rignt main was empty. Oh Oh, Reversed the cross feed, and landed with one full left main and empty right. No problem, the 310 is a great plane!

Yeah, the 310 is the Ferrari of light twins for sure - but then there’s the reputation, true or false, of a wing falling off! never flew one tho....sadly.....

My dad had a Twin Commanche which is a nice twin too - but lands a bit hot......many hours in it - many..........

Scary error there, could have been disastrous if you hadn’t caught it! The Lord was guiding you there for sure!

Highly rated pilot friend went in in a P-38 because of a similar error - and not having enough fuel for a short test flight.......

Flying his Cessna 310. Brought to you by Nabisco.

Dad had an Air Force friend who bought a 310 when he retired. He & his wife flew everywhere for a while but eventually sold it.
