How to search on the Internet for Steve Fossett's Citabria taildragger

0. Install Google Earth freeware on your PC:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/...le-Earth.shtml

1. Download the map update recently taken of the search area this week
http://s3.amazonaws.com/fossett/geoeye-color.kml

2. Start Google Earth and Load the new GeoEye maps into Google Earth.
File - Open - geoeye-color.kml

3. When you zoom in to about 150 miles above the California Nevada border,
you can see the newly added GeoEye color maps will be a greener (summer)
color than the older maps. This is the search area. It's huge.

4. You can zoom down to the 12,000 foot level (or whatever) and search the
area for the blue Citabria taildragger. You can find a picture of the actual plane here
http://www.stevefossett.com

5. In addition, you can get a search area assigned to you on Amazon's
Mechanical Turk by going here
http://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?g...21T60&kw=Flash

7. Then press the "Accept Hit" button and log in.

8. Then press on the link "To help in the search for Steve Fossett, please
click here" and then press on the link "Work on HITs", whatever a "hit" is.

9. What this does is gives you a zoomed-in view of YOUR SEARCH AREA (they
give a search area to each person). If you see his plane, then you tell
them on that web page.

10. If you want, they also give you coordinates such as
"38.117852,-119.279851" which you can then go back and paste into the
Google Earth tool to look at the same location and zoom around using the
Google Earth software.

Hope you find something interesting!

1.Registration.
a. Registration. When you register with the Site, you will be
asked to
provide us with, at a minimum, your name, a valid email
address, your phone number,
and your physical address. You agree to provide us with true
and accurate information,
and to update that information to the extent it changes in any
way. When registering
or updating your information, you will not impersonate any
person or use a name that
you are not legally authorized to use. You may register with
the Site either by (i) using your
existing Amazon Account or (ii) creating a new Amazon Account.
If you do not have an
existing Amazon Account at the time you register with the Site,
an Amazon Account on
the Amazon.com website located at http://www.amazon.com
(hereinafter, "Amazon.com")
will be automatically and concurrently established in your name
with the same e-mail
address and password you provide to us. Amazon Accounts used
in conjunction with the
Site are governed by the Conditions of Use1 and Privacy Notice2
applicable to Amazon.com,
as well as the Amazon Mechanical Turk Privacy Notice3.

If you are already registered with the Site as a Requester, you must
use a separate Amazon Account
(whether existing or new) to register as a Provider; and if you are
already registered with the
Site as a Provider, you must use a separate Amazon Account (whether
existing or new) to register
as a Requester.

b. Passwords and Account Use. You are solely responsible for
maintaining the
secrecy and security of your password. You may not disclose
your password to any third
party (other than third parties authorized by you to use your
account) and are solely
responsible for any use of or action taken under your password
on the Site. If your
password is compromised, you must change your password. You
may not permit any other
person to perform Services as Provider using your Amazon
Account. Additionally, if you are
using the Site as a Provider, and you have multiple Amazon
Accounts, you may only use one
Amazon Account at any given time. In other words, you may not
use different Amazon Accounts
to simultaneously perform Services.

2.Amazon Mechanical Turk's Role.
Amazon Mechanical Turk provides a venue for third-party
Requesters and third-party Providers to enter into and complete
transactions. Except when using
the Site as a Requestor as provided in Section 5, Amazon Mechanical
Turk and its Affiliates are
not involved in the transactions between Requesters and Providers. As
a result, we have no control
over the quality, safety or legality of the Services, the ability of
Providers to provide the
Services to Requesters' satisfaction, or the ability of Requesters to
pay for Services.
We are not responsible for the actions of any Requester or Provider.
We do not conduct any
screening or other verification with respect to Requesters or
Providers, nor do we provide any
recommendations. As a Requester or a Provider, you use the Site at
your own risk.

3.Your Use of the Site.
a. Requesters in General. Upon completion of Services to
Requesters' reasonable
satisfaction, Requesters must pay Providers for their Services.
As a Requester, you
agree that upon your approval of the Services performed by a
Provider, payment from
your Payment Account (defined in Section 4 below) will be
remitted to the Provider
automatically. After you have approved the applicable
Services, you are not entitled
to any refund of your payment for such Services. If a Requester
is not reasonably
satisfied with the Services, the Requester may reject the
Services. As a Requester,
you will be charged a fee for your use of Amazon Mechanical
Turk in connection with
each request for Services. Please review the applicable Amazon
Mechanical Turk Fees
contained in the Policies for all applicable fees associated
with your use of the Site
pursuant to this Agreement. All fees are in U.S. dollars
unless stated
otherwise. The Amazon Mechanical Turk Fees may vary in the
future.
You agree to pay the amounts set forth in the Amazon Mechanical
Turk Fees
from time to time on the terms set forth herein and therein,
and to check
the fees and terms each time you use the Site. You acknowledge
that, while
Providers are agreeing to perform Services for you as
independent contractors
and not employees, repeated and frequent performance of
Services by the same
Provider on your behalf could result in reclassification of
that employment
status. If you have any questions about your obligations to
comply with local
laws and regulations pursuant to Section 6, you should seek
independent legal
advice. To the extent you receive any contact or personal
information regarding
any Provider who has performed Services for you, such
information may only be
used as necessary for you to comply with applicable laws and
for no other purpose
whatsoever. Further, you agree that you will only accept work
product from
Providers that has been submitted through the Site.

b. Providers in General. Providers may perform Services
for any Requester
in accordance with the specifications submitted by the
Requester. However, if
the Services do not meet the Requester's reasonable
satisfaction, the Requester
may reject the Services and repost the specific request. As a
Provider, the
Requester for whom you provide Services is your client, and as
such, you agree that
the work product of any Services you perform is deemed a "work
made for hire" for
the benefit of the Requester, and all ownership rights,
including worldwide intellectual
property rights, will vest with the Requester immediately upon
your performance of
the Service. To the extent any such rights do not vest in
Requester under applicable
law, you hereby assign or exclusively grant (without the right
to any compensation)
all right, title and interest, including all intellectual
property rights, to such
work product to Requestor. As a Provider you are performing
Services for a Requester
in your personal capacity as an independent contractor and not
as an employee of
the Requester. You specifically acknowledge and agree to the
following: (i) you will
not use robots, scripts or other automated methods to complete
the Services; (ii) you
will submit all work product through the Site only, and not
directly to a Requester;
(iii) you will provide Requesters for whom you perform Services
with any information
reasonably requested by them in connection your performance of
such Services; (iv) you
are responsible for, and have and will, comply with all
applicable laws and registration
requirements, including those applicable to independent
contractors and maximum working
hours regulations; (v) this Agreement does not create an
association, joint venture,
partnership or franchise, employer/employee relationship
between Providers and Requesters,
or Providers and Amazon Mechanical Turk; (vi) you will not
represent yourself
as an employee or agent of a Requester or Amazon Mechanical
Turk; (vii) you will not
be entitled to any of the benefits that a Requester or Amazon
Mechanical Turk may
make available to its employees, such as vacation pay, sick
leave, insurance programs,
including group health insurance or retirement benefits; and
(viii) you are not eligible
to recover worker's compensation benefits in the event of
injury. If you have any questions
about your obligations to comply with local laws and
regulations pursuant to Section 6,
you should seek independent legal advice.

c. Listing and Promotions Generally. As a Requester or
Provider, you may not sell,
offer for sale, request, purchase, or provide any Service that
violates applicable law or
is prohibited by the Policies. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement, Amazon
Mechanical Turk will have the right, in its sole discretion,
to determine the content, appearance,
design, functionality and all other aspects of the Site
(including the right to re-design, modify,
remove and alter the content, appearance, design, navigation,
functionality, and other aspects of
the Site and/or any page thereof and any element, aspect,
portion or feature thereof, from time to time).

d. Information and Feedback. You must supply accurate
and complete information for
all Services in accordance with our data requirements, as may
be designated by us from
time to time, including in the Policies. You recognize and
agree that Amazon Mechanical
Turk will implement mechanisms allowing us and others to track
your requests for,
or your performance of, Services and rate your performance as a
Requestor or Provider,
and Amazon Mechanical Turk reserves the right to collect
feedback regarding your
performance and to post such feedback on the Site. You may not
take any actions
that may undermine the integrity of the feedback system. You
agree that submission
of any information, feedback, content, data or other materials
(collectively, "Materials")
is at your own risk, and that none of Amazon Mechanical Turk,
its Affiliates, Requesters
or Providers has any obligations (including without limitation
obligations of confidentiality)
with respect to such Materials. You represent and warrant that
you have all rights
necessary to submit the Materials. You hereby grant to Amazon
Mechanical Turk and its
Affiliates a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual,
irrevocable right and
license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt,
modify, re-format,
create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or
non-commercially exploit
in any manner, any and all Materials, and to sublicense the
foregoing rights,
in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Site.
For avoidance
of doubt, if you are a Requester, if you create any tests,
specifications,
criteria lists or other programs for use on the Site to
evaluate or otherwise
select Providers they will be considered Materials for purposes
of this Agreement
and may be used and/or referenced by us or other Requesters and
Providers
pursuant to the license granted above.

f. Customer Service. Amazon Mechanical Turk will be
responsible for and
will have sole discretion regarding all customer service issues
relating to use
of the Site and its features, including without limitation,
payment processing
and the debiting or crediting of Payment Accounts (defined
below).

g. Disputes between Requesters and Providers. Your use
of the Site is at
your own risk. Because Amazon Mechanical Turk is not involved
in the actual
transaction between Providers and Requesters, Amazon Mechanical
Turk will not be involved in resolving any disputes between
participants related to or arising
out of the Services or any transaction.

4. Payment Processing; Payment Service. Amazon Mechanical Turk or
its Affiliates will
process all payments made by Requesters to Providers. Requester
payments made through the
Payment Service are received by Amazon Mechanical Turk or its
Affiliates on behalf of
Providers, and may be disbursed only in accordance with Section 4(c)
of this Agreement.

a. Establishing a Payment Account. When you register
with the Site, a payment account
("Payment Account") with the Amazon Mechanical Turk Payment
Service (the "Payment Service")
will automatically be established in conjunction with your
registration. Before you fund
any Services, you must also provide: (i) a valid checking,
savings or other automated
clearing house enable bank account (an "ACH-Enabled Bank
Account") at a United
States-based financial institution; (ii) a United States
address associated with your
ACH-Enabled Bank Account; (iii) a United States billing
address; and (iv) a valid United
States driver's license number if you are an individual. You
give Amazon Mechanical Turk
and its Affiliates permission to incorporate into your Payment
Account any information,
including payment methods, associated with your Amazon Account.
b. Funding of Requester Payment Accounts. Each Requester
must pre-pay for the Services
by funding its Payment Account with a transfer from its
ACH-Enabled Bank Account (such transfer
being referred to herein as a "Funding" of its Payment
Account). Each Funding must be at least
equal to the total amount that will be owed to Providers upon
completion and acceptance of the
Services and any amounts payable to Amazon Mechanical Turk in
connection with Requester's use of
the Site. Each Funding may be held up to four (4) days in
Requester's Payment Account before
such funds are available for disbursement to a Provider's
Payment Account. After Requester's
acceptance of the Services, the Payment Service will debit the
amount owed to each Provider
from the Requester's Payment Account, and credit each
Provider's Payment Account that amount.

c. Disbursement of Funds to Providers. Providers may
disburse funds from their Payment
Account either: (i) to an ACH-Enabled Bank Account; or (ii)
through converting such funds to
a credit that is held for the benefit of Provider in an Amazon
gift certificate account4.
Funds will only be disbursed in compliance with applicable laws
and regulations, including
without limitation the United States Patriot Act and the
regulations of the Office of Foreign
Assets Control.

d. Authorizations for ACH-Enabled Bank Account. You
hereby authorize Amazon Mechanical
Turk and its Affiliates, and any third party service providers
or agents acting on their behalf
, to debit or credit your ACH-Enabled Bank Account (including
by creating a paper draft or an
electronic funds transfer) and/or your Payment Account, as
applicable, (i) to process Funding,
transfer, disbursement or other payment transactions; and (ii)
to settle payment for any fees
that may be charged under this Agreement. In the event there
is an error in the processing of
any transaction described above, you authorize us to initiate
debit or credit entries to your
ACH-Enabled Bank Account or your Payment Account, as
applicable, to correct such error,
provided that any such correction is made in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations,
and to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate the
error, which may include
ordering a credit report, performing credit checks, or
verifying the information you
provide against third party databases. If we are unable to
debit any ACH-Enabled Bank
Account you select for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit
the debit, plus any
applicable fees, to any other ACH-Enabled Bank Account you have
on file with us (or,
in the case of any fees that are owed under this Agreement, to
deduct such amounts
from the funds in your Payment Account). Your authorizations
will remain in full
force and effect until we receive written notification from you
of any termination.
Any termination will become effective as soon as we have had a
reasonable amount
of time to act on it, but in any event not later than thirty
(30) days after written
notice of termination is received by us in accordance with
Section 13(e).

e. Restrictions and Limitations. We reserve the right to
terminate or suspend
any Payment Account, or to delay the Funding, transfer or
disbursement of any amounts,
in each case for any reason in our sole discretion, including,
without limitation,
if we believe that a Requester or Provider is in violation of
this Agreement. As a
security measure, we reserve the right to restrict the transfer
to Providers of any
amounts held in a Requester's Payment Account for up to three
(3) Business Days (as
defined below) following any Funding. Other than a credit to a
Provider's Payment
Account for Services rendered by such Provider, amounts held in
Payment Accounts
cannot be transferred to other Requesters or Providers.

f. Our Liability. We act only in the capacity of a
payment processor in
facilitating the transactions between Requesters and Providers,
and are not
otherwise involved in the actual transactions. We will only be
responsible for
initiating Funding, transfers or disbursements at the direction
of Requesters and
Providers, and will be entitled to rely on such instructions
without any further
inquiry or liability whatsoever. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement,
if we fail to complete a transaction on time or in the correct
amount when properly
instructed by you, we may be liable for certain damages
directly caused by our failure
as imposed by law. However, we will not be liable, for
instance:

* If any system or equipment was not working properly and you knew or
had been advised about
the breakdown before you initiated the transfer;
* If you do not have enough available funds in your ACH-Enabled Bank
Account or in your
Payment Account to complete the applicable transfer, or if the
transfer would cause you
to exceed any applicable transfer limit with respect to your
ACH-Enabled Bank Account;
* If circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to,
power outages, fire,
flood, mechanical or systems failure) prevent the proper execution of
the transaction,
despite reasonable precautions we have taken;
* If your transfer or source of funding the transfer is intercepted by
legal process or
other encumbrances restricting transfer, or your participation in the
Site has been terminated
or suspended for security purposes;
* If we are unable to confirm your identity or have reason to believe
that the transfer
requested is unauthorized; or
* If you have not provided us with correct, current and complete
payment information.

This list of examples is only intended to illustrate certain
circumstances under which we would
not be liable, and is not intended to be a complete list.

g. Statements and Account Balances. We will send an
e-mail confirmation to you
after a Funding, transfer, disbursement or other payment
transaction occurs with respect
to your Payment Account. In addition, you may access your
Payment Account and transaction
information (your "Activity History") online in the "Your
Account," and
"View Transaction History" (or equivalent) areas of the Site.
You may access this feature
only with a browser that is compatible with the Payment
Service, including any security features
that are part of the Payment Service. Interest will not be
paid on amounts held in Payment
Accounts. If no Funding, transfer, disbursement or other
payment transaction occurs with respect
to your Payment Account for at least two (2) years and six (6)
months, consecutively, the balance
in your Payment Account will be automatically converted into an
Amazon.com gift certificate and
sent electronically to your then-current e-mail address
associated with your Payment Account.

h.Error Resolution Policy. All questions relating to Funding,
transfers,
disbursements or other payment transactions made through the
Payment Service should be
directed to us, and not to the financial institution where you
have your ACH-Enabled
Bank Account. If you believe that your Activity History, any
transaction e-mail
confirmation, and/or any Funding, transfer, disbursement or
other payment transaction
initiated through the Payment Service is erroneous, or if you
need more information
about any of the foregoing, you should contact us as soon as
possible by telephone
using the telephone number provided in Section 4(i) of this
Agreement. In any event,
we must hear from you no later than ninety (90) days after the
questionable transaction
FIRST appeared in your Activity History or bank account
statement, or the e-mail
confirmation was sent, as applicable. When you contact us,
provide us with the following information:

* your name and the e-mail address associated with your Payment
Account;
* a description of the error or the transfer you are unsure
about, and a clear explanation
of why you believe it is an error or why you need more
information;
* the dollar amount of the suspected error;
* the transaction date and associated transaction
identification number from your Activity
History, bank account statement or e-mail confirmation;
* a telephone number at which you can be reached in case we
need further information; and
* the telephone number of your bank.
If you provide us with this information orally, we may require
that you send us your complaint
or question in writing within ten (10) Business Days (as
defined below). We will attempt to
determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) Business
Days after we hear from you and will
correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we
may take up to forty-five (45) days
to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do
this, and your inquiry or complaint
involves any amounts in question relating to the balance in
your Payment Account, or any debit to
your ACH-Enabled Bank Account, we may provisionally credit your
Payment Account, or transmit a
provisional credit to your ACH-Enabled Bank Account, as
applicable, for the amount you think is in
error, so that you will have the use of the money during the
time it takes us to complete
our investigation.
If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and
we do not receive it within ten (10)
Business Days, we may not grant provisional credit of the
disputed amount. We will tell you the results
of our investigation within three (3) Business Days after its
completion. If we determine that there
was no error, we will send you a written explanation, and we
may, and you authorize us to, debit your
bank account for the amount of the provisional credit. You may
ask for copies of the documents used
in our investigation.

i. Your Liability for Fraud or Unauthorized Use. If any
fraudulent or unauthorized
transaction occurs in your Payment Account, we will reimburse
you for your losses from such
transaction(s) if you inform us within 90 calendar days from
the date the unauthorized transaction
is posted to your Account Activity, bank account statement or
you receive a transaction email
confirmation, as applicable. Notify us promptly by telephone at
(866) 557-2829 upon learning
of any fraudulent or unauthorized activity. If such
unauthorized transfer involves your ACH
-Enabled Bank Account, you should also contact your financial
institution directly. You may
be required to comply with Section 4(h), to be eligible for
reimbursement.

In addition, if you do not inform us within 90 calendar days,
you may not get back any money you lost
after the ninety 90 day period if we can prove that we could
have stopped someone from taking the
money if you had told us within such time period. If a good
reason (such as a long trip or hospital
stay) prevented you from telling us, we will extend the time
periods accordingly.
We reserve the right to cancel your Payment Account for any
reason.

j. Fees. Except as described in this Section 4(j), there
are no fees for registering
with or using the Payment Service. You agree that if an
electronic funds transfer is
returned unpaid by your bank, you will pay a service charge
equal to the maximum amount
allowed by law. Electronic funds transfers returned for
insufficient or uncollected amounts,
together with any applicable service charges, may be debited
electronically from your
ACH-Enabled Bank Account or collected using a bank draft drawn
from such account.

k. General. The Payment Service is generally available
seven (7) days per week,
twenty-four (24) hours per day, except for scheduled downtime
due to system maintenance.
We can initiate funding or disbursement transactions from or to
your ACH-Enabled Bank Account
only on a Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, a
"Business Day" is a Monday through
Friday, excluding federal banking holidays.

5.Amazon Mechanical Turk Participation. Amazon Mechanical Turk and/or
its Affiliates may use the
Site as a Requester from time to time.

6.Compliance with Laws.

a. Taxes. You agree that it is your responsibility to
determine any and all taxes and duties,

added, withholding and other taxes
and/or duties assessed, incurred or required to be collected,

The process IS DIFFERENT!

Google paid for updated maps (which anyone can pay for). They will update
the maps AGAIN on Saturday. That's why you MUST load the kml file. That
kml file is the updated maps.

Otherwise, if you do not load the kml file, then you are correct.

Does anyone know the address or coordinates of the airfield that Steve
Fossett took off from?

Yuck. You can just make up all the data.
There is freeware on the net which gives you reliable made-up data, e.g.,
it gives an address, phone number, and zip code that is "legit" (albeit
not true).

Does anyone know the name of that freeware?

According to www.stevefossett.com:

The aircraft's last confirmed position on Monday (3 September) at
approximately 10:30 A.M. local time showed Steve west of Powell Canyon
(south of Walker Lake and southwest of Hawthorne), proceeding east
towards the canyon.

The geoeye-color.kml doesn't cover any of this area...

I have no explanation.
All the information I've read is from Amazon Turk and from the STeve
Fossett web site.

ANyone else have any answer to this enigma?

BTW, does anyone know the GPS coordinates of the AIRFIELD where Steve
Fossett took off from. If he is to be found, we'd need to START at that
airfield and then do successive radius loops around from there.

Where did he take off from? Yes, I know it's a ranch owned by Hilton, but,
do we have coordinates or a google-able address?
