Perhaps. On the other hand, without power, one will land regardless
of knowledge of forced landing procedures.

Wow on a day of bad weather, they where probably IFR part of
the flight.

Given a moonless night in poor weather over the desert, I'd say they
had only a minimal horizon reference.

Many people are wondering tonight, how did this happen? How did two
14-year
old boys get access to the airplane?

Only people who are unaware of the complete lack of security at most GA
airports are wondering....

Really, you're becoming as predictable as the tide with your asinine &
uneducated comments...

It has been widely reported (if you were paying attention) that the
airplane belonged to one of the boys' fathers. That being the case it's
probably safe to assume that they had access to the aircraft. The OP
said they'd stolen the keys (that should've been your first clue)

Well there was at least one error in the article.

The boys did not crash the aricraft. In fact, they executed
an off-field dead stick landing and made a good landing.

Not a great landing, but maybe the best anyone could have
done under those circunstances.

Except for the stealing the airplane and running out of fuel
parts, that is.
