Searchers Say They Have Fossett ‘Ping’

fossett-map.jpg

From this morning’s Military​.com news…

Teams on the ground and in two air­craft kept up the hunt for mil­lion­aire avi­a­tor Steve Fossett on Sunday after a new analy­sis of radar data pro­vided fresh optimism.

The for­mal aer­ial search by the Civil Air Patrol and the Nevada National Guard had ended Sept. 19 after more than two weeks of scour­ing a rugged area of deserts and moun­tains twice the size of New Jersey.

However, analy­sis of radar data and satel­lite images from Sept. 3, the day Fossett dis­ap­peared in a small plane, led Air Force tech­ni­cians to believe they had spot­ted clues to his route.

“We said the only time we would reopen the search is if we had viable leads. This time we believe we do,” Gary Derks, the state Department of Public Safety offi­cial in charge of the search, said Sunday.

The area being searched was south­east of hotel mag­nate Barron Hilton’s million-​​acre ranch in west­ern Nevada, where Fossett had been stay­ing. Nothing was found by Sunday afternoon.

Fossett, 63, was the first per­son to cir­cle the globe solo in a bal­loon. He also swam the English Channel, com­pleted the Iditarod sled-​​dog race and scaled some of the world’s best-​​known peaks.
