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

Dave,

There's a photo of the Decathalon in the latest Update of the Steve
Fossett Web site:

http://www.stevefossett.com

Short answer: Typical Citabria starburst in Blue and White, with some
red trim.

Also, the latest Update refines Fossett's last known whereabouts a
bit:

"It is now believed that Steve Fossett was unlikely to have ventured
far afield (such as crossing the Sierra Nevada range), but that he was
more likely to have been on a local pleasure flight - and that he
probably was not surveying sites for the upcoming landspeed record
project.
Based on Steve's known movements, plans and the aircraft's
capabilities, the search is now primarily focused on a 30 - 50 mile
radius of the ranch, with some members of the search team convinced he
is even closer.

The aircraft's last confirmed position on Monday (3 September) at
approximately 10:30 A.M. local time showed Steve west of Powell Canyon
(south of Walker Lake and southwest of Hawthorne), proceeding east
towards the canyon. This location is less than 30 miles SE from his
point of departure / expected arrival. Steve was expected to return to
the ranch around 11:00 - 11:30 AM. Although the Super Decathlon is
capable of good performance at sea level, the predicted aircraft speed
and climb rate must be adjusted down for the density altitude of this
area in summer.."

Thanks, Bob K.
