I hope they find him hanging out in some abandoned cabin somewhere drinking hot cocoa. Glad they're starting a search again.

Searchers will walk up to him at said cabin, "Mr. Fossett, I presume!"

I don't believe he'd ever just go missing on purpose. With his money, he'd be missing out some great adventures like riding to the ISS and the Branson/Rutan suborbital hops.

The State of Nevada asked Fossett's widow to reimburse them for a portion of the search expenses and she told them to pound sand.

Wow you are on a roll tonigh Zimm, What's wrong, gas prices got you in a funk, a little under the weather, bad day? Lighten up, the man Fossett is a legend, going the extra mile to find out what happened is the right thing to do. :beer:

He is a legend, yes he had lots of money, but he did some amazing things in his life. It is everybody's loss that he is gone, the world needs more people like him.

I think that if his Super Decathlon crashed into an area of large rocks, and burned, you would have to walk right over the small pile of metal bits that would be left to find it. (remember, a fair amount of the plane was made of wood and fabric.)

I'm sure he is dead. I think that if the state of Nevada put more effort into the search for Steve than they would have for one of us ordinary people, because of his celerbity, that is thier own fault and she should not have to pay them back for the extra effort. On the other foot, if she used pressure and influence to get the extra search effort, she should pay.

Anyway, he's dead, pilot error or mechanical failure, we may never know.

I tend to agree with you about his fate. However, this seems destined to go the way of D. B. Cooper and Amelia Earhart unless they find him. Expect to hear a thousand theories about this for the rest of your life unless they do find him.
