Yes.

Interesting that they are saying they have some viable evidence to reopen the search.

Seems as if the "Black side" has something to do with it.

Why?

If Sattelites are looing they can pick up most things with infra RED.

Yes, I do hope they find him! He was a special person to be sure!

Tom;
Very true on all accounts.
What you may have not understoond or I failed to make clear:
IMVHO/POV, seems as if "Black-Ops" is providing some information.
And if so, thank you very much, I do not care nor need to know more.

Not as 'black' as you think... CAP used ARCHER (Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Reconnaissance) technology in the search. (The CAP squadron I belong to has an ARCHER equipped aircraft and crews. No, I'm not ARCHER-qualified.) It's already been used with some success in locating downed aircraft. More info: http://www.spacecomputer.com/systems/archer.html

The Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) has suspended the search until there's siginificant leads to reactivate the search.

Gibbons To Bill Fossett's Widow For Search

Gibbons To Bill Fossett's Widow For Search

Bill Comes As State Faces $900M Budgetary Shortfall
CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Gov. Jim Gibbons plans to bill the widow of adventurer Steve Fossett for the unsuccessful recovery search.

Last year, the state spent $687,000 over a month looking for the multimillionaire adventurer after his plane disappeared in northern Nevada. During a month-long search, ground crews, the Nevada National Guard and the Civil Air Patrol scoured a 20,000 square-mile area, but turned up no sign of Fossett or his plane.

Been missing a pretty long time to hold out too much hope.

True. This is more likely a search and recovery rather than a search and rescue.

I hope his remains are located. Even though I hate the term, it will bring closure to his family.

MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. - Madera County's sheriff says search teams have found the wreckage of missing adventurer Steve Fossett's airplane.

No mention of his remains being recovered, though.

Full Story.
