I understand that Fossett is missing after leaving the Hilton Ranch
yesterday in a Super Decathlon. I hope that he is found OK. |

She says they don't need additional help at this time - they have six aircraft and crews and three helicopters in the air. |

snip Lt. Ryan's phone is busy all the time, hopefully that's a good sign. No, it just means lots of people are trying to call Major Ryan. I can't see how it's good or bad. |

I can't see how it's good or bad. Wow...he even has an ELT in his watch! "Even if the plane locator failed, Fossett usually wears a Breitling Emergency watch that allows pilots to easily signal their location, said Granger Whitelaw, co-founder of the Rocket Racing League. "They're registered to us personally, so they know it's you," he said by phone Wednesday from New York. There had been no word of such a signal by Wednesday." |
