List a celebrity with flight plan

I want to thank you for your Friday editorail on Steve Fossett. (“Fossett search points out double standard.”) As a private pilot, my friends and I have noticed the disparity given in this search. No one else had the courage to write such a piece. We wish that all downed aviators could have a search like this, but we don’t count on it. Also, don’t forget the search for John Kennedy Jr. when he wrecked on his way to Martha’s Vineyard. Our solution is to put Fossett or Kennedy or some other monied person as passengers in our FAA flight plan.
