Friday morning, a Cessna 182 Skylane, ran out of fuel and performed an emergency landing, on Highway 67, approximately 22 miles North of Alpine. There was no damage to the aircraft, and the pilot was able to takeoff, after refueling. Deputies and State Troopers secured the area to ensure the safety of the highway/runway.
Another dumbass pilot giving GA a bad name by a simple failure to manage fuel level. Something a basic two hour student pilot is taught to do. Lubbock County Sheriff's office and Texas Highway Patrol should send the idiot the bill for the dispatch.
