| He probably wasn't carrying a parachute because he had no plans to fly aerobatics. He was scouting locations in the desert for a land speed record in a car.

| How is not filing a flight plan a blunder? If you are going out for a VFR flight, you don't have to file one. It's not required and I know that most pilots don't want to bother if they are just going out to fly. They want to fly, not be bothered with paperwork...

What's more odd is that his ELT beacon didn't go off.

He's down, that's pretty much certain. But where and in what condition is the question. Hope he's still alive. | |

| Yes, he took off from South of Carson City. I am not sure which way he headed after takeoff. I am guessing that no one else really knows either as they haven't spotted his airplane yet.
