Boy, nothing like a nice day in Feburary to put GA in the news. I was
watching channel 10 in Sacramento last night. They opened with 3 GA
accidents...

3) Cherokee in San Jose has engine trouble (or something like that).


I don't think this was in San Jose. San Jose, at Reid-Hillview, had a
plane crash onto Tully road after running out of fuel. A few seconds
earlier and it would have crashed into Eastridge Mall. RHV is one crash
away from closing and this had the potential to be the one. Its also
the 2nd RHV crash in a month where the pilot ran out of fuel. The other
landed on 680.

So the airport is responsible for stupid pilots forgetting to gas
up their planes and therefore should be shut down? Must be gov't logic.

No but stupid pilots forgetting to gas up provide the ammunition and two in
a month would make anybody stand up and ask questions. Sometimes a mirror
is needed to find the problem.
