Steve held over 60 world records at the time of his death.... I think he was living the life many of dream of living, he will definitely be missed. I was reminded of this tragedy again only about 3 or 4 weeks ago when there was a small unassuming ad in the classified section of Autoweek magazine offering the "Steve Fossett World Record Attempt Landspeed Car" for sale. For those that don't know, last year Fossett had purchased the "Spirit of America" car Craig Breedlove used in 1997 to attempt to break the sound barrier on land, only to be bested by the ThrustSSC team from Britain. It has been reported Fossett was looking at sites for the record attempt run on his final flight. -------- Mitch Hodges N601MH (Zenith 601HDS) Builder Log at http://www.hodges.aero Wings Under Perpetual Construction Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 7758#207758 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aviation-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Aviation-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aviation-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aviation-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
