A Google Earth satellite scan of the Steve Fossett search area has just been released from a couple nights ago. With it you can search a previously unassigned area for Fossett's plane. You could very likely find him.
To do this, here are the steps:
1. Download the kml file of the new satellite scan.
2. Go to a webpage to get your own coordinates to search.
3. Paste the coordinates into the Google Earth "fly to" window.
4. Search your area for few minutes.
5. Go back to the webpage and refresh it to get some new coordinates to search.
You can do all this from this page:
Amazon Mechanical Turk
At the right of the page, there is a link to download the KML file. Above it in bold are the coordinates that you will copy and paste into Google Earth. Then, refresh the page to get new coordinates when you are done.
If you do not have Google Earth, download it here.

it is totally obnoxious having to register on Amazon to do that part of it. Really poorly thought out on their part, considering all the effort made to make the rest of the system work so well.
You can still participate without doing the Hits thing by just refreshing the page to get new coordinates.
