A Bonanza crashed into the Mc Donalds parking lot near the airport here tuesday. This was on a test flight after an engine replacement. The test pilot (local AG pilot)reported a fuel issue and called a May Day return to the airport. Pilot survived but is critical.

I drove by the wreckage and fuel was running across the parking lot to the street. It wasn't blue and it didn't appear to be evaporating. Looks like it may have been topped off with Jet-A before the flight.

If you don't fuel your own plane check behind who does!
