Steve Fossett
Apparently his plane is missing, a Citabria Decathlon. A friend of mine has one; very nice little tandem taildraggers. That guy's been all over creation. Hope he hasn't packed it in...

I agree with you. You have to admire the mans spirit.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I've followed and admired Fossett for years. This is heartbreaking.

I've been guilty of not filing flight plans in the past and even more negligent in filing float plans. I think there's a lesson here.
