Plane crash at Pomona Raceway

The gimli Manitoba crash was because they filled the aircraft in litres instead of gallons. This was during the switch over to metric and should of been picked up when the pilot did the drip test but he didn't do one. Long story short, he ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing on the only strip of pavement he could find.

More proof that drag strips save lives ! LOL!
