Glad to see none of the current posters walked into the area where the
personal items were found that started the search again *for the
aircraft and any body parts. And did not search the areas between the
personal items location and crash site.

Groups who walked the ground were experienced mountaineers and ...
No matter the cause, sorry end to a flamboyant flier.

He at least died with his boots on, as we say here in Texas.

Thanks for the photos.

I for one had no expectation of publication-ready
material and I enjoyed (well I did not enjoy the
misfortune that came upon Mr. Fossett) your
presentation.

Thank you.

It truely brings home the nature of the terrain and
the vastness of the search area.

Quite why you should have been criticised for making
this material available completely escapes me. But
you knew this already:-)

Thanks.

Groups who walked the ground were experienced mountaineers and they
had a hard time due to altitude and terrain. Their recovery by
chopper
due to Wx and end of the area search, got them back to rally point
before dark and before Wx closed in and was a safety measure. Chopper
pictures gave credit to organizations who furnished the choppers.


Expect the DNA test results of the small pieces of bone found, to
show
if animals got to the body. From my experience using DNA testing, it
will take 2-3 months (or longer) to get any results from DNA tests.


Since the crash burned, wonder why one of the Satellites didn't pick
up????

Geez....... The crash was below treeline, must be at 10,200 - 10,500
of so... Experienced mountianeers should not have a big problem with
that altitude or terrain. Heck alot of people ski and snowmobile alot
higher then that for most of the day, and that is alot more of a
workout. With that said it sure looks bad for Steve and probably his
demise. Altho it reminds me of a movie a while back, Wild Things, I
think. Just throw around some teeth and maybe a bone of a pinky and
some ID at the crash site or close and walla, you are "gone"....

Hmmm, Jim I think you need to have your Testosterone level checked.
Grouchiness in older men is usually an indication of low
testosterone...

Actually, extensive independent research has revealed that USENET,
rather than low testosterone is possibly the highest ranking factor
attributed to old age grouchiness.
