Kevin McDole is an unknown quantity at this point
Here's the NTSB report:

I didn't read the GAN story, but it looks like the pilot very carefully added 15 gallons to each AUX(inboard) tank for the 20 minute flight. He then apparently performed the flight with Main tanks selected. It ended when the Main(outboard) tanks ran out of fuel near this destination.

Did he think the Main tanks were the inboard tanks, or did he simply forget to select the AUX tanks??? The ferry pilot had very little 337 time logged, although his wife claimed he had "extensive" O-2 time in the Air force. Was this a case of not understanding the systems, or simply making a mistake?
