Ohio pilot disappeared without a trace
Neil Huntzinger was an expert pilot. For decades, he traveled North America, Central America and South America for profit and adventure. Then one morning, he pointed the nose of his airplane toward the horizon and vanished into thin air, leaving a mystery that has never been solved. (www.ohio.com) More...

Never say never. Did an exercise with the FAA WINGS Safety team on a mountain in NH last year - looking at a wreck from the 1970's. Originally it took two years to find it - and even then it was chance that it was found. But during the initial 1970's search - trawling the mountains - they found three other "disappeared without trace" airplanes. He might still show up (but then so might Amelia!)
I live in NH and I've never heard of this. Very interested, please share more details. Thanks.
Flew in a SAR in the 60's in South Texas. Never found anything. Lots of real estate to get lost in and never be found.
Think someone could find it on Google Maps or a satellite site if you get enough people looking?
This seems to be the same size as a Piper Cub wing(right click on the map and measure distance)... https://www.google.com/maps/place/15%C2%B058'19.4%22N+85%C2%B044'27.1%22W/@15.972044,-85.7414429,180m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d15.9720442!4d-85.7408546

I couldn't imagine a fabric wing lasting this long in that environment.
Cool story. Appreciate the post.
