At any rate, the kind of flat areas Fossett wanted to scout appear to be
found *east* of the Flying M, for the most part.


Yeah, *east* ...like on the Nevada/Utah border.

This has been bugging me since the first reports came out: If you want to
set a land speed record of some sort, what's wrong with using the Bonneville
Salt Flats? Why do you need to "scout" out other locations?
