It's a Steam-Achievement.

I managed to find the shipwreck but not the plane yet. I've been told it's completely random, but keeping the radar tuned to the radio tower affects the "biome" of islands that spawn. Not sure what difference it made but I kept my radar on that frequency and kept it off so I was just drifting aimlessly when I found the island.

Figure it as a 1% chance to pop up. That's not GETTING to the island, but for it to pop into existence somewhere around you as you travel.
The fog can, and will, cloak a lot of stuff out by the rendering limit. If you never see it, you won't know it's there, and can drift right past it...

Also, the Shipwreck and Planecrash islands are in the Small-islands category, so they will NOT show up on the Receiver, no matter what.

As for the crashed plane... it's a blinkin SEA plane. It's got water pontoons, so all it needed was a flat-ish patch of water somewhere. How in the hell does a pilot miss a runway as big as an ocean to hit a small island?
