Pilot injured after fuel starvation led to forced landing in wooded terrain, NTSB says.
Good article, thank you for “follow the checklist” reminder.
Is there a reason you showed a picture of the N-number of someone else’s Cherokee with this report about a Beech Travel Air running out of gas? It’s a bit insulting to the owner/pilot of the Cherokee whose N-number you showed directly under the headline “Fuel Starvation Led to Crash in West Virginia”.

I used to trust Avweb for accurate reporting on Aviation topics. They always provided better, more reliable articles than the rest of the aviation ignorant media. I can see now with the new management that accuracy is no longer important. Ron thanks for alerting us to this error. I hope that it will be corrected but I doubt anyone even cares.
For 25 years I’ve been flying by the bladder method. 2-3 hours in, after taking off with fully fuel, and I’m on the ground. Getting gas and using the bathroom.
Just for info @wingmanxd. Your comment is the only one hidden/ invisible on the actual news article page. Only visible within the forum. 
I`m not sure why it is hidden. I guess someone didn’t like what I said.
