Interesting that the drift was not as chaotic as thought. Compare MM43's map at post 911 of this thread and this link below. Looking at the phase three search area it is a shame that they took a "bite out of the sandwich" in the search area. Understandable based on duration of flight from LKP, track deviation, etc. I guess the lesson is start at LKP and head out despite how smart we all think we are.
