What is it with these fuel starvation incidents? Never ceases
to amaze me that such a preventable thing continues to occur.
I mean, its not rocket science...

No doubt. I'm AMAZED at how often perfectly good airplanes get bent up
by running outa gas... While that wasn't the cause of the accident
here, it was a contributing factor. There are so many things that can
go wrong (that you don't have control of) you'd think every pilot would
concentrate on things they CAN control like fuel on board. Oy.

That incident is not going to help the cause of other 210 owners come
policy renewal time. I've been told by insurance people the 210 is
expensive to insure, although I can't figure out why it'd cost more
than a 182/177/172RG...
