A volunteer pilot took Norton’s mother over the area of the mine and turned the plane in various combinations to replicate what the miner heard and then used the plane’s trajectories to map a search zone. But no sign of the wreckage was found, Dayton said.

Although the ground search had ended, air search efforts continued, Dayton said. In addition to volunteer pilots, a donor from California was providing drones to create ground images for searchers to analyze.

Norton’s family was planning to discuss whether to stay at the search site any longer, Dayton said.

"Jonathon Norton’s family is coming to the realization that we’re not going to find him," Dayton said. If the air search turns up no new leads, the family will resume the search after the snow melts.

"There is just too much forest. It feels like we are looking for a needle in a haystack and unless you miraculously walk on top of the crash site you won’t see it," he admitted.

Could whomever is also spending part of their day TAGGING grids on this site searching..
please contact me maybe we can organize a sort of search party...
searching from left to right top bottom etc. and compare notes on what may be a spotting of something?
I am specifically searching for letters in snow, colors which are out of place which would indicate someone trying to signal help?

I was thinking maybe the plane did a [ nose dive?]
If it did the tail would be the only visible part of the plane right ?
If you know a scale of the plane and what the people would look like[ as in height on scale to this grid]

http://www.beechcraft.com/beechcraft/bonanza_g36/specifications.aspx




if you can see this the specs help in getting a rough idea of the plane size in regard to the area.
It is white and since it crashed into the snowy mountains it will[ dah] be hard to spot.

I was hoping maybe a passenger put a mirror to reflect light on something near the crash site?
Good luck everyone....
let's find this crash site..
:please:

I am looking on the far right of the grids today from bottom to top...then I plan to do the outline edges around the whole search area.

Did you tag it or post to fb?

I could not find what you mention there are so many grids and the site seems to freeze and reload for me and I must start all over sometimes..not smooth sailing ...:scared:
 
I think all planes commercial and/or domestic need to have a emergency refelctive balloon which would be visible day or night. The balloon would work like a air bag only upon impact rise to the sky on a long long string which would be strong like fishing line on a reel?
To go as high as possible and be self inflating

I get the freezing and reloading problems as well. I search a pretty big part and then freeze and I loose my area I have been over. My tags are staying in place but some of my searched blocks vanish or it isnt counting the crosser blocks I have searched already and unaware I have already because my grid disapeared.

I just keep on tagging. I dont need to know where I have been ,just that that have not been found so I need to keep looking.

It also appears the scale changes in some images compared to others but I have noticed alot of the images posted to the google overlay seem to be of a larger scale size then what the plane should be.

RENO, Nev. -- Rescue teams racing against the clock and the bitter cold worked into the night and were hoping to resume an aerial search Tuesday for a couple and four children who have been missing since Sunday when they went to play in the snow in the remote mountains of northwest Nevada.

The temperature was expected to drop below zero again early Tuesday after plunging to minus-16 degrees the day before in Lovelock in the rugged area where the group was believed to be, about 100 miles northeast of Reno.

"It's got to be brutal out there," said Mark Turney, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. "Let's hope they are found quick."

We have AMAZING people on this site that can look at these satellite pictures and help find the missing plane.

I was asked to post this information by a family member.

Thank you for your time.

On Sunday December 1st, my nephew, Jonathan Norton, was traveling on a private plane from Baker, Oregon to Butte, Montana with his fiancé Amber Smith, her father, Dale Smith (the pilot), and her brother, Daniel Smith, and sister-in-law, Sheree Chalmers Smith. The plane never made it to Montana. It suffered some engine troubles, and is believed to have gone down around Johnson Creek landing strip near Yellow Pine, Idaho (just east of Cascade, Idaho). We have been diligently searching since Monday with a significant amour of air and ground support, but to no avail. We just learned of a search tool that enables anyone to search satellite images (updated at least as recent as 2 days ago) in an effort to locate the downed plane. We are humbly asking that anyone who has a little extra time to please help us locate our loved ones so that we can bring them home. You can search the satellite images by signing on to this web site.

Thank you in advance, and please pray for a miracle.

Are these new satellite images we are looking at on tomnod? The depth of the snow looks to be way greater than it was two days ago while I was searching. :(

This different set of people that you are discussing in your post were just found.

http://www.mynews4.com/mostpopular/...ly-Has-been-found/52VLT0Cet0ODLjcbCIVAHw.cspx
 
wow...and people posting about how careless they were for flying. On two separate articles, same person. Stuff like that infuriates me.
 
I don't know if any of you can help but yesterday while I was searching the Todmod the page froze and somehow I lost the little map and the page is zoomed in quite a bit to where its impossible to tell what I am even looking at. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Same thing happened to others, myself included. Just ignored and went back to tagging even if it means going over old terrain which is just as well in case something was missed. imo.
Hope someone else has a more informed response than mine!


My screen is frozen on blue screen at the moment...
