Whether it's on the ground or in the air, it's the type of thing they want
you to report.

I thought you found the plane while participating in the "mechanical turk"
search, in which case reporting it would have been a part of the process.
If you found it just by looking, probably the best bet would be to go to the
Steve Fossett website http://www.stevefossett.com/ and just report it on
their contact link.

"A hotline has been established for tips in the search for Steve.

The number, (910) 396-0704 and when the tone comes, dial 4719.
Officials say tipsters should be prepared to leave their name, contact
number, latitude and longitude coordinates and a description of the
area."

No I did not participate, it was just a 3 hrs of search around the airport.
It is most likely a search plane. I tried a 910 396-0704 number and it does
not work from Montreal. There is just no way of giving the info.I am
surprised that there is no site to report findings outside the system.

Consider prepending a Country Code of 'one'
to the telephone number: 1 910 396-0704

If you dial the 910 396 0704 number you get another dial tone - then you
dial 4719 - it's kinda confusing - it took me a couple tries before I
thought to keep dialing.

A different color. Much easier to view, for me.
It looks like the planes on the airstrip and some nearby ground equipment
are the same though. I wonder what the date is.

I think I'll revisit some of the hits I took.

One way to report a hit is to telephone the Steve Fossett
search-tips hotline at +1-910-396-0704. When you hear
the tone, press 4719.

Be prepared to leave your name, contact number, latitude, &
longitude, and a description of the area of interest.

I don't see the plane in the new set.

Nomen,
Can you confirm the second set of kml files is ADDITIVE?
That is, should we load BOTH the kml files mentioned
in this thread - or should we only load this latest KML
file?

I finally saw the new files tonight! Last night they were giving me HITs in
the eastern area, and all I could see was the original maps, so I knew I
wasn't doing anything meaningful. Then this morning they were giving me
HITs in the area covered by the first kml file, but I noticed the Google
Earth coordinates weren't centered on the HIT image; even sent them a
comment on that! Tonight I am finally seeing the new kml file data (thanks
to the above link; I tried several times before to load it from the
mechanical turk site link, but either that wasn't working or I didn't know
what I was doing - probably the latter ).

The files aren't additive, but they overlap; I think the best bet is to have
both loaded, but make sure the new one is being used if the HIT is located
within it (uncheck the box for the first file).
