Subdeacon Joe Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 But Bravo Zulu to the LEOs. "************************* ** Officers Help Pilot ** ************************* On Sunday, Jun 12th, 2022, A private pilot flying from Nebraska to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, had to alter his route in order to avoid severe thunderstorms that ran him low on fuel. The Pilot, thinking that the Osage City Airport had fuel, landed at the Osage City airport in town. However, no fuel was available, so he called the Osage City Police Department for help. Osage City Police Officer Dena Dougherty was available to help the pilot find the correct Fuel octane at BP. After fueling, the Pilot discovered the latch for his cockpit window was bent and would not latch due to a thunderstorm he flew through. It just so happened that Osage County Deputy Mike Rooks arrived to offer his assistance to help the Pilot as well. Deputy Rooks was able to bring several tools from home the Pilot used to fix the mechanical problem that otherwise would have grounded his flight for days. This is just one example of how every day Police Officers and Osage County Deputies work together to enhance the welfare and safety of those we serve. Please join us giving appreciation to Law Enforcement Officers in our county for taking the time to go beyond the call of duty to help others in need; and thanks to our community for their support and honor to wear the badge of trust you have given us."

Alpo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Well I hope that pilot has an A, otherwise the FAA is liable to ground him for more than "for days". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putnam Under Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 What's FAR did he violate? Poor judgment I'll agree. The plane looks like an experimental, if is the builder he's allowed to work on it all he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Never leave your canopy open while flying through a storm. I don’t care if you farted in the cockpit or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
