I was at the search HQ yesterday`
I went down to Minden airport (KMEV) and met up with a friend doing a story on the search for mr. Fossett.
Quite a bit of machinery involved in search. Conflicting information on whether he had the ELT watch with him or not.
A wreck (Not FOSSETT) was found that was some dozens of years old and has provided some answers to a missing plane and man for his family...this wreck has gone unnoticed for dozens of years...that is what the terrain is like. my friend went up and took footage that might be available at cnn.com, it was shown this morning in the US around 6:40 am pacific time...in case you want to see what the terrain is like.
IF YOU ARE FLYING near there make sure to "break squelch"on 121.5...that is turn off the squelch or adjust it to hear the white noise or static...this will make it more sensitive to an ELT. questions, PM me.
