Right. There is (was?) no direct report address.

But, I managed to get it reported via via to the Air Patrol Search Team.
By calling (001) 702-8283111
From what I heard later, it's a known plane wrack.

Is there anyone how knows about a Official reportadres?


No, I was just searching the Web for something like that, and came up
dry.

I have an email address for a guy at the Mech Turk program, and also
Major Ryan's cell phone number. But there's no helpfindsteve.com Web
site or 1-800 number to a switchboard where a staffer can quickly and
effectively add your tip or sighting to the pile of things to look
into.

The search effort seems to have only private phone lines in, and major
media briefings out. Us regular folks just have to be satisfied with
the Amazon HITs and CNN briefings outside the Taildragger, I guess.

You're right I think. But it would be far more effective if there was a
direct report-link to the rescue team.
The www.stevefossett.com site, seams to be the most direct link up till
now.

Do you have the coordinates of the ranch of steve fossett, were he
took-off? From the above site, it's believed he most be nearby.

coordinates anyone?


I believe the coordinates are 38°36'37"N, 119° 0' 7"W.
