Pete Sandich:
[starved for petrol, the #2 engine dies]
Tanker 57 to tanker base. I've got a small inconvenience here. Larry:
Talk to me Pete. Pete Sandich:
I may have overestimated my fuel just a tad, but I can see the base from here and my right engine is fine, so I don't think there's going to be any... [right engine splutters] Pete Sandich:

Glider practice. Larry:
[rings the crash alarm and announces over the PA]

[sound of the feathered propellers turning feebly and air rushing past as the plane sinks towards the ground. Pete's transmission is broadcast over the tanker base PA]

[whistles Garry Owen, the theme of the 7th Cavalry as he glides towards the base. The altimetre shows his sink rate while descends from 1,275 feet as trees rush past below him. The headwind shifts to a tailwind then dies and Pete's whistling fades when the plane staggers as it loses lift from the headwind]
