If I read this correct it states " mid air"
The RV-10 is registered to Torello Tacchi, Tacchi88 in the forum. It doesn't look like he's posted anything since 2008 though.
No, the way it's listed in the post is easy to misread. Break it up and you can see that it's reported to not be a mid-air.
"ran out of fuel"
"ran out of fuel"
Odd how the newspaper reporter could make that determination, and it takes the NTSB how long? I don't think the reporter is likely to even know the difference between fuel exhaustion and starvation. As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out; not enough data yet.
Any landing you can walk away from....
Well it was good nobody hurt but unfortunaly totally avoidable
Folks - please!! We have a member of these forums who has just lost his airplane, and apparently survived with minor injuries. And some of you are already implying that what happened was avoidable because of what you read in a local newspaper?!
Our policy on VAF is not to speculate on accident causes, especially when we have no facts whatsoever. If folks have facts - please present them. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for some.

.... and stall it in order to "pancake" it to the ground flat, I figured the "fall" would have been about 10 ft. or so. .....
I would like to suggest that this is not the best of ideas. ..........
I will always refrain from public speculation on why a fellow pilot fell from the sky. They already had a bad enough day....
