Tried suggested area by Ed Dames from the C2CAM website just for the heck of it... (It happened to overlap the available color GeoEye overlay, so why not?)
Anyhow, I spotted what appears to be a creme (off-white yellow) colored aircraft on its side with various parts adjacent and what may be debris scattered to the north north east of its resting location. Not sure if this would be the color of Steve's plane, since most pictures show a blue & white color scheme as being popular for the aircraft. Becomes visible around 2000ft "earth viewing altitude" and appears only on the overlay. Length of what I presume to be the fuselage is about 20ft using the measuring tool, and landing gear and wing strut appear to be discernable features (although its badly pixelated when zoomed in.)
Not terribly far from trails/roads and right along a river bed, so the site should be readily accessable. Other user placemarks are in the vicinity, so apparently hikers and "bigfoot researchers" have been in there before.
Edit - screen cap showing what I think I'm seeing and orientation.
If you switch to the older GE image --you see the same white mark. It could be an older plane crash??--They have located 6 downed planes they were unaware off before this search. danescombe
