WHILE ON A FLIGHT FROM MCKINLEY PARK TO KENAI, AK, THE PILOT FLEW AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF ANCHORAGE, SO A PASSENGER COULD TAKE PICTURES. ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THE FLIGHT, THE PILOT BECAME CONCERNED ABOUT HIS FUEL SUPPLY BUT BELIEVED HE COULD REACH HIS DESTINATION WITH 1/2 HR OF FUEL REMAINING. HOWEVER, THE PLANE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE IT WAS ON AN EXTENDED BASE LEG FOR LANDING. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GLIDE TO THE RUNWAY. THE PLANE IMPACTED ON RISING TERRAIN JUST SHORT OF THE THRESHOLD.
