I was never really all that interested in the disappearance of Steve Fossett but this article was a bit fascinating. Interviews from several experts as well as someone who was leading the search for Fossett think that he faked his death, due to personal and finical problems. That would be a con of historic proportions.
Some Doubt Steve Fossett Is Actually Dead
Full Version: Is Steve Fossett Really Dead?
Last year the tinfoil hat crowd was going crazy over Fossett's disappearance. He disappeared within a few days of that debacle with live Nukes being flown across the US. Some of the articles about the nukes said six left the origin, some said five arrived at the destination. There was also news that Norad was helping in the search for Fossett. Then all the people that helped load the plane died in accidents or something like that.
So the tinfoil hat story on this is that Fossett faked his death, that the search for Fossett was a cover-up story for a search for a missing nuke.
Google "Fossett Broken Arrow" and you'll find some ramblings on it.
Interesting that article said he died in a Citabria Super Decathlon. I didn't know that. - To me it's interesting not for the reason that the article states of it being easy to disassemble (because even easy to disassemble would mean hours of work and a helper to do it), but rather because if I were going to try to take off from Reno and fly over the border to Mexico without being tracked on radar, it would be a great plane to chose.
It's a stripped down and souped up version of a fairly run of the mill private plane. So it's got decent speed (130mph cruise) and range (560 miles) and it's rugged and maneuverable, but it's not flashy. It certainly wouldn't draw attention like something more exotic would. A person looking up at it flying over at low altitude (so as not to be tracked by air traffic controllers) wouldn't remember it like they might if he were flying something like a Long E-Z - that could be a factor once the story hits the news if they show pictures of the type of plane he was flying.
It can take off and land in short distances on dirt roads or from unimproved fields. Theoretically he could land near a gas station (the engine will run on 87 octane) in some small town in Mexico and fuel up and go another 560 miles. A plane landing at an airport like that might not be too out of the ordinary in rural Mexico - with crop dusters and all - but that's just a guess.
It's a cool conspiracy theory, but I think he's dead.

Because they could not find his body, it's pretty much guaranteed some people will see a conspiracy because of it.
Fossett has too much ego to disappear himself. The man is dead, in his plane, wedged in some crevice or gully.

Trust me, I've lived near or in these deserts most of my life, the fact that they never found his body is no surprise. Slot canyons, scrub land, sand dunes, you'd have a rough time finding anything that size.
And besides, the whole idea of Fosset as an "adventurer" is amusing to say the least, these days adventurer usually translates into bored rich man with time and money to burn. Why on Earth would he steal a nuke and fly to Mexico?

I don't think the implication is that Steve Fossett stole the nuke.
I think the implication is that Dick Cheney stole the nuke to pull off a false flag operation somewhere to blame on Iran. Dick Cheney mentioned to Ken Lay that he was going steal a nuke at one of those Illuminati bi-weekly meetings.
Steve Fossett was planning to fake his death to dodge some bill collectors and he asked Ken Lay for some advice on pulling it off. They decided that the weekend that Dick Cheney was stealing the nuke would be a good time to do it because people would be too busy looking for the nuke to look for Steve Fossett.
Norad just used it as a convenient cover-up that they were looking for Fossett because they didn't want to scare the public. Even though Norad was complicit in Dick Cheney's 9-11 scheme, he had decided not to include them in the stolen nuke plan.
There are a lot of facets to this case, a lot of ins and outs, but the bottom line is that Dick Cheney has a nuke.

If that's true he'll probably just accidentally shoot a lawyer in the face with it.
The wacky theories that pop up on the internet never cease to amaze me, I've heard some nutty ones but this one is up there with the moon landing being a hoax and mole people.
A missing pilot and a Norad screwup (which is probably way more common than they would admit) somehow translates into stolen Nukes.
