RESCUE crews have found the wreckage of a small plane that appears to be the aircraft piloted by millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, the National Transportation Safety Board says.
The NTSB said the small airplane found on Wednesday "appears to be the aircraft piloted by Steve Fossett".
Mr Fossett's small Bellanca airplane has been missing since September 3, 2007, when the pilot left Nevada for a local flight.
The wreckage was found about 3200m up the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the vicinity of Mammoth Lakes, California.
An NTSB investigator has been sent to the accident site.
