• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

That's plenty Martin as the Hornet makes a good glider with no power! Ask Dave! :icon_twisted:

I hold the record for that one I believe.

I ran our of gas 30nm from the airport and dead sticked it in.

Larry finished with maybe 2% fuel because he conserved it while I poured it on. We were battling 100 kt head winds coming into Israel.

Of course I was at 32,000 when I ran out.
 
The coast of China is in sight. And I'm in a VAQ-133 ship... Better get the CMDS on line... ETE 0:45

This will be another dud. Hornet has a range of 3000nm...this leg was 600nm. with 275nm to go, I have 27% fuel remaining after having started with full tanks. Most likely I'll be setting down in some Mongolian Nomad Village at some point very soon. This is why I don't fly in these races, lol.
