The short answer is you don't need one. If you're flying around in your Citabria flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) then I probably wouldn't either. Right now I'm holding out lots of hope it's simply a forced landing and he's sitting somewhere waiting to be found. Hopefully they'll find him alive.

Don't buy into the CNN/Fox News hubub about not having a flight plan being a big deal. It's not. I probably wouldn't especially if just going for a Sunday drive or a short trip I regularly made.

Maybe because he had no real destination in mind. News channels are reporting he was scouting out locations for his next record breaking attempt at the land speed record.

ack-ack

I lost my virginity about thirty years ago.

Has anyone seen it? Should I start my own thread?

If you want to help notify people from here (and other's), by all means make one.

I've seen posts like that in this O'Club before.

I didn't know who that is until i googled. Madeline McCann is still missing too.

As Steve Fossett is a famous aviator, and this is the bbs of an aviation game, i would expect a thread about him.

Everybody is still talking about Amelia Erhardt. And that was in the 30's and she went into the SEA!

Point was that Fossett should be found, since he went down over land. Hope he's alive.

I don't see anything wrong with posting such things on this forum. He is an aviator, a lot of us are interested in aviation. Besides i care about any human being who is in trouble.
