Steve Fossett...
Oct 2^nd, 2008 at 7:11pm

and where is the body? This only my opinion and have felt this way since he went "missing"

He is very rich.
He is an adventurer.
He liked attention.
Who flys without a parachute?
Was he flying naked, no remains of any clothing he was wearing?
I think he purposely staged this crash and is hiding out in some jungle being treated like some god to a Pigmy Tribe.

Just my opinion. If he is dead, I am truly sorry for his death and our condolences to the family. I hope you get closure either way.

Here is the story from CNN

From Fox News:

Federal investigators say they found body parts amid the wreckage of missing adventurer Steve Fossett's airplane in the mountains of eastern California.

The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, said Thursday that searchers found enough at the crash site of Fossett's plane to provide coroners with DNA.

National Transportation Safety Board acting Chairman Mark Rosenker won't say exactly what searchers found. But he says it was not surprising how little they uncovered, considering how long it had been since the crash.

Madera County Sheriff John Anderson told reporters earlier Thursday that searchers "found enough wreckage to determine that it was in fact the aircraft" Fossett was flying solo when he disappeared last September.

Anderson said that it appears that Fossett plowed head-on into a mountainside.

"The crash looked to be so severe that I doubt if someone would have walked away from it," said the sheriff during a Thursday news conference before the body parts were found. The engine was lying about 300 feet from the wings and the fuselage, which disintegrated on impact.

My experiance with flying single engine aircraft in the mountains, has been limited to Super Cubs and Cessna Cavaliers. Both of which don't have the cockpit visibility of a performance aircraft like the Bellanca. But on the other hand, I've never augered a plane into the side of a Mountain Range under VFR rules on a CAVU day either.

My Uncle Xavier Franco Sunega put that on my door. So I could see it every day before I took his Cavalier to Quyaquil delivering stuff from his ranch, when I was down there on vacation. Always good advice.
Although flying 16,000 ft. down to MSL four times a day had me hyperventilating so much. By the end of four months my tan was almost purple. Never hit a mountain though.
