Fuel remaining indication malfunction
Bull Shit... This aircraft had just gone through a year long major overhaul of all systems... I was the Senior NCO in charge of the project. Every single system on this aircraft was checked and double checked including fuel capacity and on board calibration systems... The back seat big shot was on a time schedule and ordered the pilot to skip a fuel stop to try and make his schedule.... Resulting in a short out of fuel splash...... My aircraft was in in full operational condition... They pushed her over the edge and lost........... That's my story and I'm sticking to it........
