With the Jet-A prices where they are, they could've been tankering fuel to YYZ. So this thing could go into Prime Time. That'll give TV executives a boner.

FOX, news caster/ super private pilot John Scott suggested that they could pump the all the fuel from the right wing into the left to prevent a Fire with the wing scraping on the runway!

I say we start putt'n these guys a go team to talk us down when we have problems

Fox News is always on in our office. I had to run, not walk, away from the television. I got to witness the King Air at PDK last week, and the JBU incident before that courtesy of Fox.

King Air landed at FTY (Fulton-County Airport). About 12 miles SW of PDK

From Carol Dean-Toder, GV EXPERT being interviewed on FoxNews, "Just before landing the crew will shut off the fuel control..."

Really? Now, I realize I only fly a Falcon and Citation, but in all my training I've never "shut off fuel control" until the emergency evacuation. Do you really shut down the engines on Gulfstreams prior to landing? <note sarcasm>
