Where was he going without ever knowing the way.

We simply don't have the resources or the funding to continue to go out and look unless we have a solid lead. Up to that point, we are truly relying on individuals," Sanford added. "It's great that they have the wherewithal and the interest to keep this thing alive.

If this was anyone else would they be looking? I've got an idea - every reference to this man in the last 20 years includes the adjective 'billionaire'. His estate could put up something, hell, they might even find some 'less important' missing people that were long since abandoned.

He was abducted by aliens. He should have used more foil.

Wouldn't "the Jimmy Hoffa of Aviation" or just "Amelia Earhart",(as she was already in aviation) make more sense subby? After all, we know where David Copperfield is, unfortunately.

Why isn't this a movie yet? Hollywood seems hard pressed for original idea, they've re-made everything. A billionaire's adventure, and he goes missing, probably dead but, what are the OTHER possibilities? OK, there really aren't any, but the story as it sits ought to be enough to get some ideas percolating...
Then, when it wins an Oscar, have Steve Fossett come out and accept the award.

Couldn't a multi-billionaire afford a frickin' GPS device of some kind?

Fossett is alive but is being held in Area 51 since he witnessed the Air Force capturing an alien spaceship. The military plans to trade him to the aliens for uhhmmmmm, like, a transmogrifier gun, or something like that.

I read it on the internet.

Find Fossett and get money. Or thats what they hope. But even rich dead guys have millions of dollars in their pockets. And as any cop will testify too,,,Dead guys never have any money in their pockets...Or at least a certain percentage of the original amount.

/Aliens.

That is not unusual.

True, he was going out in a small aircraft for a pleasure flight. My husband and I do it all the time without filing a flight plan. However, we're not flying over thousand of square miles of rugged, barren terrain.

It's just smart flight preparation.
