No, it’s not amazing. It’s not in the desert; it’s in mountains, and those are very hard to search.

This was a small plane. There are very steep washes in the desert that could hide this aircraft. You could walk within 20 feet and never see it. During the intense search for his plane AC’s were found that were lost in WWII.
Someday somebody will come across his remains.
May he RIP!

“its amazing that a plane crash in desert can get this lost”

from artical

“according to the Reno Gazette-Journal, about 15 to 20 private planes have vanished in the area since 1950.”

See my post #13. The highest mountains in the U.S. outside Alaska are here along with thousands of miles of Great Basin High Desert (not flat) territory.
