latest update suggest that he was NOT carrying any survival food or water
That is definitely NOT good news. It is too horrible to contemplate that he may have landed safely with non-functioning radio(s) transponder, ELT, etc and be waiting in vain for rescue whilst slowly dehydrating. I for one hope they find him soon, or that he was killed on impact if he has crashed - gruesome maybe, but better something swift than having to wait helpless, dying slowly of dehydration.
