Up to $10,000 reward
For information leading to the discovery of Gerhard B. Finkenbeiner
and his aircraft. Gerhard took off from Norwood Memorial Airport on May 6,
1999 at 2:45 PM. The single-engine plane, a 1980 Piper Arrow IV, tail number
N8235Z (pictured below) was tracked to a radar beacon a mile southwest of
Plymouth Municipal Airport 21 minutes later. His aircraft was undergoing a
gradual descent when it dropped below 1100 feet and under radar coverage at
that location. A possible sighting of an aircraft matching this description
was reported at approximately 4:45 PM the same day in the Danielson, CT area,
though no confirmation exists that this was the same aircraft.
Please forward any pertinent information to Steph Finkenbeiner
at 714-633-5562.

The reward will be paid in full, split among those contributing to the
discovery, based on the impact of their contributions.
