Best guess... and this is NOTHING but idle speculation... he may have
lost
his electrical system, and with it, all his navigation and radio gear.
The
reports are consistent with someone looking for a place to land, not
knowing where he was.

I sure hope that is not the case. If it is, it would be a pity someone
bought the farm (along with some others) because he did not have a working
handheld radio, and possibly a handheld GPS, as backups.

What were the weather conditions at the time? My post history is lost on
this thread.
