Capitol Circle that is. Luckily it was at 2:10 in morning and in the Southwood area, a quiet part of town that closes down early. You can drive it at 11:00 and see long stretches of free roadway
Pilot was on his way cross country from Texas, and somehow scheduled his late night fuel stop at a now-closed airport north of the city. Decided to try and make TIA but ran out of gas. It's got to be a pretty easy plane to glide, but at night and trying to manuever into position on a roadway, he had to be sweating bullets. Lucky to be alive.......Bet he won't make that mistake again.
