The missing aircraft is blue on white with a "typical" sunburst design on
the top of the wing (the design that has multiple beams radiating out from
the center, leading edge of the wing).

Remember that if there's a post impact fire involving a rag and tube
aircraft, there's often little or nothing left of the original paint scheme
or even the outline of the aircraft. Fuel fires will be hot and the thin
aluminum ribs and inner wing structure can melt. We may be left looking for
what amounts to a dark spot on the ground.

Two years ago, when a Piper Super Cub (N2333J) went missing in north east
Nevada, it took two months to find the wreckage, and there was no post
impact fire. It was found by hunters on horseback, not by the aerial search.

However, during the aerial search for that aircraft, two previously
undiscovered crash sites were found, one dating back some 30 years. Several
undiscovered crash sites have been found in this current search (no info on
these yet, probably until next of kin are notified).

These are 0.4 m resolution pictures taken by satellite (GeoEye) since
Fossett went missing. You're shown a picture and either you say "no,
nothing of interest" or "yes, this should be checked out". There's
over 100,000 images to sift through, so if you can help, please do!

Dan - What is the paint job on the missing Citabria ?
Startburst ? Stripes ? Didn't see this info, perhaps it would help...
