Cool, cloudy and drizzly. Gonna be shitty on and off all week. As long as Friday is nice, I'm okay with it, but this weather is really trying my patience.

Same here.
It keeps threatening to rain but all we get is a drizzle which means it's going to pour down this week.
Weird thing is that as cloudy as it is the UV index is still a 9.

Happens more often than you might think, even in commercial airlines. Almost always fuel related. Several planes have gone down shortly after takeoff when someone put gas in a jet, or vice versa, especially when turbines started replacing pistons and some piston aircraft were getting modded to turbine. Another one that's taken down a few planes is the pilot failing to switch fuel tanks or turn on fuel pumps. Years back a Republic Airlines MD80 crew let both engines feed off one wing tank till it went dry. They dropped almost 20,000' before getting the tanks switched and restarting the engines.

Northwest had a 747 experience a 4 engine "top of descent" flameout when the same fuel component on all 4 engines had been set up wrong, and when the pilot pulled the throttles back to descend, it caused pressure imbalances in the compressor section resulting in compressor stalls and the fire went out. Another high pucker factor engine restart. I think that plane still has the record as the world's largest glider.

And sometimes they just run out of gas.
