He says he was flying a 1966 Cessna 150, a two seater plane with a small HP engine (150 hp) and he was FOUR HOURS into his flight ! Wait !!!! that plane has 5 hrs fuel max. You should have 1 hr reserve, and 30 min extra just in case. thats 3 1/2 hrs before you land, refuel. besides, after 3 hrs in a small plane, you need to land and stretch, pop your ears. And this guy is flying OVER WATER! I would never fly over water, unless i could glide to land from where i was (depending upon altitude etc). He ends up ditching, but doesnt leave plane with a life preserver ! He SHOULD HAVE HAD A RAFT ! you can rent them from Sporty's Flight Shop - this guy is really lucky to be alive. amazing survival story. Now he is bullet proof - whats the chance that anything like that would happen to him again?!!!
