C182 Down Due To Apparent Fuel Exhaustion

Balloon Event In Vermont Closed Destination Airport

The pilot of a plane that appeared to run out of fuel and went down in Middletown Springs, VT, could not land at his destination airport because it had been closed for a balloon event.

The plane with two people on board had been en route to Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport (KGFL) in Glens Falls, NY on Saturday. A NOTAM had been posted for the airport indicating it had would be closed for the Adirondack Balloon Fest Friday to Sunday. According to a report from the Associated Press, the pilot told State Police that he had turned toward Rutland, VT where he could refuel, but did not have enough reserves to make it to that airport.

The plane carrying pilot Richard Piccirilli and David Querry, both from California, had reportedly departed from a grass strip near Burlington, VT. Neither was seriously injured when the airplane, identified in the FAA's preliminary accident report as a Cessna 182, went down.
