Jim, I don't know if you remember, but Geraldo on CNBC said that there is no difference between the search for a celebrity and a non-celebrity, BUT WAIT, this just in from the NY times: In the case of Lyle C. Davis, an investment manager in Boston, who was flying his Cessna over Delaware Bay on April 4 1998 when his engine failed. He radioed for help and then disappeared into the water near Cape May, N.J. "The Coast Guard began searching as soon as he disappeared Saturday evening," recalled Reese Dill, a close friend of Davis's who lives in Weston, Mass. "There were a couple of boats, at least one helicopter, a cargo plane and some other planes." The search continued for one day, until Sunday night, when it was called off because there was no longer any hope of finding the pilot alive. "The Coast Guard told me there was nothing more they could do," Dill said, "because their mission was to find survivors, not find wreckage. I told them we needed to keep looking. They said we'd have to do it ourselves." This is just a portion of the article but it goes on to describe in detail all the efforts and moneys spent for his Royal Highness and how the same would not apply to ordinary "Joes" like us..... good article.
