I'm going to find this plane!

Yeah I remember that. Funny thing is there were no roads near there so they think the car floated a couple of miles.

Which is exactly what that plane probably did once it hit the water. Aerodynamics and fluid dynamics are very similar. Now depending on the currents and the depth, that plane could have been taken a long ways down river before settling on the bottom.

If you want to find it, have you studied the water currents and done any calculations?

Here's a picture one of the Sherriff sent out yesterday showing what the sonar from their boat looked like yesterday.

They called off the search for now. I spent a few hours yesterday poking around.

Thats the "SONAR" they are using??? a Hummingbird? I think I still have a Hummingbird fish finder that shows me that stuff on the bottom.... want to borrow it?

Probably find a boat down there, too.... or not.

I did. It looks like my search is coming to an end. We're supposed to get 2-4 inches of rain this weekend. I'm bummed.

I'm interested in knowing how a 2-4" rain impacts the water level, keep us posted Grads...

My search is over. Bummer! The lake has gone up 12 feet and is continuing to go up at almost a foot an hour. I felt like I was so close.
