He had everything to run away from ? What being a billionaire ? What a crazy theory.

The insurance companies will DO and SAY anything to keep from having to pay a claim…I would be hard pressed to believe anything the insurance rep. had to say! I know…I am currently in the middle of a battle with an insurance company – and I am well aware of the tactics they employ to keep from having to pay money!

U mean.. we pay monthly for insurance.. for medical, car,..ect.. and when we need them the most they flat out say no and give us hell about it?

Collect Collect give me give me.. thats not right.

As a pilot I can attest that it can be a challenge spotting an airport and it’s runways when you know where it is. Spotting a wrecked plane in the middle of vast wilderness is easier said than done. That’s why they find planes years after they have crashed, and often never find them.

As a professional pilot, I agree with JC – crashed planes are often not located for years even after extensive searches. And my experience with the media leaves me with the conviction that they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about when it comes to aviation – sensationalism comes first, not facts. These two come across as bimbos.

Yes, Joe, these two did come across as bimbos. But fine bimbos. Tamron Hall is a nice chunk of woman. Owww.

He might have faked his own death— it isn’t really that strange of an idea. And we wouldn’t know the reason why he would want to do that if he had. But just because they had some ‘experts’ looking for the wreckage obviously doesn’t mean that it isn’t there since they didn’t find it— so it does seem more likely that he’s out there, dead, and still missing. People seem to put a lot of faith in ‘experts’ to give the definitive answers on their fields of expertise, but they can’t. They err too often.

I believe that he is alive somewhere. I have been to Nevada dozens of times, crossed the state a few times as well. CAP and a team from Langley looking for this guy, who said he was out looking for a place to break the land speed record? come on, I hope not too many people bought the original story. If Langley sent a special team to look for him, you can bet this was some sort of cover up, besides, we have satelittes that can view every square inch of any state and have been able to read the writing on a pack of cigarettes even back in 1954. I tend to lean in favor this time of the insurance company’s claim.

Trust me, I’m dead. There, I said it! So you can just stop looking for me. It’s not like I’m hiding on one of Richard Branson’s islands or anything! Oops, I mean…

I find it odd that a techno geek like Fossett would not be carrying some kind of GPS location device. I don’t buy his death…too clean. He supposedly crashed in the Nevada desert…DESERT. They can’t locate mettle in a desert with radar? What is this? the 1940’s?

So GT, you think finding a plane should be easy because there were people Langley looking (I’ll take your word on that). Do you think the same thing about Bin Laden? I don’t think they were expending the same effort to find Fossett as they have been Bin Laden.

I agree with Neal E.

Fossett had the money to have the best of just about everything.Including the best public and private search parties anyone can imagine.
Other than possibly being abducted by a UFO,I think he’s alive and well and this is all highly suspicious.The insurance companies are right in being so.

They found a few old crash sites when they were looking so it is not out of the realm of possibilities that he crashed and remains unlocated. I believe Elvis came to pick him up and they are working at McDonalds or as construction workers somewhere or perhaps he and his plane were abducted by aliens. Hmmmmm

Right you are, JC.

Even George Bush is looking for bin Laden. Every spare minute he has, he gets dropped from AF1 into the mountains of Afghanistan where he puts on his flight suit, jumps on his bike and rides like crazy up and down the mountains yelling, “Yoo Hoo, Turban Boy, c’mere a minnet, I just wanna show you sumthin’. I got pretzels, too. You wanna pretzel? Yoo Hoo, Yo!”

George Bush did it!! George Bush did it!!

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Blame the victim.

Shamefully,it’s an easy way out for people unable to cope with the well-known and obvious inability of Mankind to be the master of all we survey.

Mr. Fossett, having been the adventurer he was, no doubt thought he was the master of all he surveyed, with regard to his skills, the environment and the technologies he used up until that time. I mean, as aviation goes, this was an inexpensive and easy to fly airplane, but an airplane no less.

We can’t find him, we haven’t found him, and no one knows why. Just as the searchers located and cataloged several very old crash sites in the search for Mr. Fossett, some future search parties or recreational campers/tourists will probably find him and the wreck at some future time. But we can’t right now, face it. Deal with it.

And BTW he did have an emergency locator, they attested under oath to the fact that he had it on his person. It was a component of his wristwatch. But unlike a crash beacon, he had to activate if for it to siganl anyone of his whereabouts. So if he crashed in this fun little 100 mph airplane, say, in a rocky, craggy cliff, canyon or overhang (typical of much of the area where they think he overflew), one can imagine said airplane (for whatever reason) striking something solid and unyielding and then wadding up and probably burning–with Mr. Fosset’s tender pink body wadded up and dead, within.

Let the poor guy rest in peace. Don’t try and offer excuses or alternate theories about why you and your elite searchers can’t find Mr. Fossett. You couldn’t, you can’t. You don’t know how. It’s all right. You spent a lot of money and time, and you gave it your absolute best. I for one don’t doubt you are the best at what you do and you did all that could be done.

And for those praying and hoping for the “able to read a pack of cigarettes from space” satellites to come and solve this mystery, you might as well forget that. They can’t reposition in orbit for this mission, far too expensive and requires a huge set of authorizations up to and including the Executive Office. I doubt Mr. Fossett is a personal friend of President Bush or you anti-Bush liberal idiot conspiracy theorists out there would already have said they did solve it, wasting boatloads of dough in the process (while not finding Bin Laden). Besides, since they’re top-shelf classified, we just can’t ask for NRO or whatever spook agency manages them, to reallocate those satellite assets for something so small. Not that they couldn’t.

Steve Fossett @4:36p: This is the State of NV calling 4 u 2 pay up all $$ the taxpayers of the Silver State have spent searching for your sorry a@@–even your ol lady won’t pay the bill 4 your search & rescue effort!

He was allegedly having two affairs?
He mysteriously dissappears without a trace.
Declared dead by his wife.
She get’s everything.

Did they have marital problems?
Did she suspect his affairs?
She got all the money…

It’s just a thought.

I used to fly, too. Orville, Wilbur, and I, why, all we had were EPIRBs — Emergency Positioning Indicating Radio Beacons. I’m sure that there are much more exotic, and reliable devices available now, and aircraft insurers, to say nothing of the insurance companies that insure bazillionaire’s lives probably require them. And, any pilot in his right mind who WANTS TO BE FOUND would have one of these things in his or her plane, and Mr. Fossett could afford the very best. His plane — I forget what it was exactly — was small, without much range as I recall.

We know where he took off, we can draw a circle at his maximum range. He could certainly afford a thorough air search including an aerial photographic mapping of every square foot, when those square feet were favorably lit by sunlight. Google Earth uses just such planes, and you can make out people, and clearly see the lines on parking lots, and tennis courts.

So, a privately commissioned hi-res photographic survey of the area was/is entirely feasible, and affordable for the family, or insurance company. Was one done?

Yes, I have experiencing searching for downed small aircraft. And I found it, too, on a heavily wooded mountain in summer.
