Default Steve Fossett - Missing

By international reporting standards that's not too bad...

I mean they did actually get a few facts right.

Oh I just love the news media trying to report on aviation
matters....
quotes from Mark Twain no less!!!

Now if they can just figure out how to get Paris Hilton
into the story.



wow what an awful story. half of it is about the horrible winds in
the sierras, then they mention ever so slightly that the wind was dead
calm on monday. They call a Super Decathlon a twin engine airplane,
quote mark twain, imply that cropdusters take unnecessary risks, and
call fosset the #1 gliding pilot in the world...
