Pilot found dangling upside-down 2 days after crash Associated Press [snip] Though air traffic controllers in Seattle tried to direct him to an airstrip in Kooskia, Idaho - just 20 miles away - he never arrived. Assuming total loss of engine power of this Piper 180, at what elevation (above ground) could a glide 20 miles be expected? Sounds like a long way. I realize we'd have to know winds aloft to make a more accurate estimate. Wonder how short he was of making Kooskia. Mike
