Steve Fosset's plane wreckage found
What a sad story, I remember meeting him and talking with him, what a really neat guy and just a regular Joe, albeit one with millions of $ but really nice. He gave me a pin from his first attempt to fly around the world.
Talk about living life to it's fullest, from the article:
Fossett made a fortune in the Chicago commodities market and gained worldwide fame for setting records in high-tech balloons, gliders, jets and boats. In 2002, he became the first person to circle the world solo in a balloon.
He also swam the English Channel, completed an Ironman triathlon, competed in the Iditarod dog sled race and climbed some of the world's best-known peaks, including the Matterhorn in Switzerland and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
