AT DEERFIELD, HE ESTIMATED THERE WAS 15 GALLONS REMAINING (12 GAL USABLE). BUT THAT HE WOULD NEED ONLY 6 TO 7 GAL TO RETURN. WHILE RETURNING, HE ENCOUNTERED DELAYS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ENGINE LOST POWER FROM FUEL EXHAUSTION ABOUT 4 MILES FROM THE DESTINATION. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GLIDE TO THE AIRPORT. HE THEN TRIED TO GLIDE TO AN OPEN FIELD, BUT WAS FORCED TO LAND IN TREES BEFORE REACHING THE FIELD.
