Help search for Steve Fossett
Stewart,
I wonder if that witness actually saw my plane. I flew through Sunrise Pass at about 2:30 PM on the day Steve went missing. My Husky has blue body and wing tips, white wings. Would be easy to mistake for the plane Steve was flying. bumper "Stewart Kissel" wrote in message ... http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar...912/NEWS18/709 12017/1038/MVN Interesting item...14 minutes old. Wonder if it is a hoax or actual observation? Flying into rising terrain in a box canyon at high altitude, one might attempt a manuever as described to do the 180? |

I didn't call them, but I did call CAP at Minden, where they are
coordinating the search (at least the non-Flying M Ranch part) and told them. bumper "Ro" wrote in message ll.nl... bumper schreef: Stewart, I wonder if that witness actually saw my plane.

I just finished my 1000th HIT. I marked a few smudges, anomalies, and
a couple of maybe burn scars. But no smoking guns so far. These tips can speed up the mechanics of doing HITs and leave you more time for photo analysis: * A mouse with a wheel between the buttons comes in real handy for scrolling down to where the yes/no radio buttons are. * No need to scroll back up to the Submit HIT/Return HIT buttons. Pressing Enter on your keyboard submits the HIT. * The system gives you the wavy-letters test every fifty HITs or so to make sure you're not a 'bot or script. Click "Automatically accept the next HIT" every time this happens. * If you use Google Earth to double-check anomalies, make sure you check the .kml file specified in the HIT. So far we've got at least two different .kml files in play, and maybe more. Keep chugging, these HITs aren't going to do themselves. Thanks, Bob K. |

I see that they now have fresh satellite images of the search area in
the following .kml file: http://s3.amazonaws.com/Fossett-GE-3...ye_3/index.kml The new images are a three-pass swath of the eastern edge of the Sierra, including parts of Ebbett's Pass (Highway 4) and Sonora Pass (Highway 108). These areas include some heavily timbered areas - the sort of places that can easily conceal airplane wreckage. Thanks, Bob K. |
