AOPA's fantastic video about the time I lost fuel pressure in a Bonanza right in the middle of the North Atlantic one night.

This was one of my favorite stories from Ferry Pilot! You do a great job telling your stories on camera.

I read that story in your book Ferry Pilot. I still can't believe you survived! If you haven't read Kerry's book you really need to check it out! Best pilot memoir I've ever read!

Another great story from the man himself! I remember reading that story in his book Ferry Pilot and being amazed in how he didn't panic and solved the problem. I highly recommend his books!

Hey Kerry, another death defying adventure. You are so right, you never stop flying the airplane, no matter what, all the way to impact if that it is how it goes! I am so fortunate that I completed my first Ferry flight, and all the way to Asia, after crossing the Atlantic with you. I learned from the best! We both still need to get to Antarctica to finish putting all of the Continents in our log book, I feel it coming on buddy. Great video as always!

With fuel problems it doesn't really matter if you are flying a single or a twin. Just saying:) Good story.

was there any way to just stick the hose out the little vent window

@derrick_blak_ 6 ай бұрын

I was just wondering, would it work if you stuck the tube into the airflow though the small pilot side window on the Bonanza? Or crack the door and stick the tube into the airflow? Just curious

I kept expecting him to stick the tube in the air vent. Use that duct tape to hold it secure, and keep from frost bite on the fingers.
