Nice work!
We (Unfortunately) have a few around here too. But, you'll have to wait for Breakup for some pictures. There's one in sight of my window that was put in sometime during the Fifties. I tried to get up there before the snows but didn't make it this year.

Does anyone know how many previously unfound wrecks were discovered during the Steve Fossett search?

They found a lot of wrecks here in Mineral County, that CAP and the military initially though were new discoveries, but all ended up being well known and previously recorded by the local SAR guys and MC Sheriff's Dept. Of course CAP and the military told the local SAR guys and MCSO to butt out of the search as they didn't want any amateurs getting in their way...

You mean the Japanese got him too??? :lol: Actually, that is probably the best justification for retrieving the wreckage of JFK, Jr.'s airplane. We have been spared from endless taboid speculation about alien abduction and faked disappearance acts. Of course, "The Truth is Out There, Somewhere," Scully.
