7:30 CDT - looks like they have stopped at small airport in DELL CITY, TX about 70 miles east of El Paso. Must be weather related, because there's nothing at the Dell city airport, not even fuel. Hope all is well.

10:00 CDT I just got a call from Dayton. The reason they deviated north to Dell City was due to strong headwinds which made them too low on fuel to make El Paso. After finidng no fuel in Dell City, they carefully measured remaining fuel and decided to push on to El Paso. Then fog set in as they were on long final and the low fuel light came on. But, they landed safely at El Pase Intl. The distances between fuel stops should be shorter tomorrow, but they are expecting more headwinds, along with a 7000-8000 ft climb over mountain ranges. And on they go!
Thanks for the update, Dad! Dayton, that's lucky on the fuel. Be safe!!
