[AT] Satellite Tracking was Warning and apology.

[charlie hill]

Yep I would have thought the same thing Mike.  It's not like the folks that 
owned that plane were poor.  It should have had every bell and whistl on it 
and I thought the emergency locator becons were pretty much required. 
However, I'm not a pilot so...........

If he really is out there somewhere he must have flown it into a mountain or 
stalled it and drove it in so hard and fast that everything failed.  Either 
that or he flew somewhere other than where he told the folks he was going.
