great info,wasn't so sure about the laughing, but i guess the sound guy was ok with it.Loved that about Collins in the hospital trying to wake him up saying "give me more monitor" that was beautiful.

I suppose that a very rich fuel mixture could cause a "late" burn in the cylinder causing flame to be ejected when the exhaust valve opened. At any rate, a very rich fuel mixture would cause fuel consumption to increase. It's a shame that the band members didn't stand up and refuse to fly in it.

Three band members and one road crew member died in an airplane crash in 1977. Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant was killed. In 1987 the band reformed with Ronnie's younger brother Johnny as lead singer. Johnny looks and sounds very much like Ronnie.

I thought I had seen all of the Skynyrd material on Youtube. Great interview.

Fascinating. Great interview--and the little bit of humor makes sense. I have never heard that the fuel gauge wasn't functional at all, only that there were fuel issues, also never heard that they sat on the ground for so long. Several people have insisted that the plane was at full capacity but according to Mr. Welch the seat next to him was empty. I always wondered why the plane wasn't fixed there, now we know. I wish Gary or Artimus would write a book and set a lot of the rumors straight.
