Can anyone cite an instance when a pilot lost his engine while on
final and landed short because of it?


Anchorage Int'l in the 80's. Piper low-wing, ran out of gas on final to
6L..ditched in the inlet, minor injury. I don't remember the exact date
but do remember the incident since I'm one of the fireman that plucked
her off the beach with a helicopter.

I can remember a couple more occuring at Merrill Field.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
