Anybody know where the searchers are doing their search? I've been
following the news and the last I heard they had narrowed it down to a 600
sq. mile area and somewhere south/southeast toward Bishop. Also what's the
most economical cruising speed for a Citabria? I read that it has about a 4
hour fuel supply.
I have this bad feeling they are looking in the wrong place for him. There
are several remote dry lakes in a sector 30 to 90 degrees (Norhyteast to
Eaast) from Smith Valley and out towards Battle Mountain/Eureka 100-170
miles. Several of these map on Google Earth with 7-8 miles of possible
surface for possible racing. Doesn't look like anything anywhere near that
size to the southeast of Smith Valley.
