]]> What: single-engine acrobatic Bellanca Super Decathlon plane
Where: Minaret Range California
When: Found Wednesday (a year after the plane was lost Sept. 3, 2007)
Who: Steve Fossett

Three days after a hiker, Preston Morrow, found Fossett’s pilot’s license, a glider license and a membership card for the National Aeronautic Association, the wreckage of his plane was found.

A piece of bone 2 by 1 1/2 inches was found–the only possible human remains found to be DNA tested. Apparently the plane flew horizontally into the mountain, then the wood, aluminum and cloth plane shattered and burned.

Once the DNA is confirmed, at least the family will be able to have closure.
