If he had chosen to go into Bowman Field (KLOU), I'm sure the outcome would have been different. Very few emergency landing options going into KLOU, other than Seneca and Big Spring golf courses by KLOU. Since he was coming from the north, and I'm sure he knew he was low on fuel, a better option was to divert to Clark County Airport (KJVY), just north of Louisville, in Jeffersonville, IN.
