The National Transportation Safety Board has dispatched investigators to California to investigate the crash of a small plane that was found yesterday that appears to be the aircraft piloted by adventurer Steve Fossett. The Bellanca 8KCAB (N240R) has been missing since September 3, 2007, when the pilot departed Yerington, Nevada for a local flight.
The wreckage was located at about 10,000 feet of elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the vicinity of Mammoth Lakes, California. Senior Investigator Georgia Struhsaker has been designated Investigator-in-Charge for this accident.
She will be assisted by two other NTSB investigators and by the Federal Aviation Administration.
NTSB Chairman Mark V. Rosenker is accompanying the team and will serve as principal spokesman for the on-scene investigation.
Terry Williams is the press officer traveling with the team.
