Added fuel, flew away. It was a little used gravel road. I saw no one
from law enforcement, but several years later a police dispatcher told
me she had dispatched an officer to the location to check it out. I
was apparently sitting in a nearby farmhouse waiting for my wife to
call back at the time. They saw no one and no damage and left. This
was Missouri.

I have a question for those of you that have experience with a dead
stick landing caused by fuel exhaustion (either personally or

through
second hand knowledge) - was it possible to add fuel and simply fly
the aircraft away or did you have to have the aircraft towed and/or
disassembled? (I am of course referring to situations where there

was
minimal or no damage to the aircraft after the landing)

What were the circumstances of your take-off from a non-airport
surface (if one was involved)?

Just curious. I am sure some of you have some good stories to tell.
