Amelia Earhart May Have Survived Crash-Landing

If THAT aren't good news!!
It took much too long, for my taste. Of course, they could not make it to Gardner Island/Nikumaroro with the Lockheed Electra.

And when you looked at the skull, you already saw, that it can't be Amelia's. The eyes are too close to each other, I would say.

Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum opens to the public in Atchison, Kansas. Centerpiece is a Lockheed Electra 10-E, last of its kind in the world. This was the type of plane she was flying when she disappeared.

The hunt. Is on, again!
New sonar image might show the wreckage of her plane on the ocean floor. Experts seem to agree that this latest development warrants further investigation.

That story leaves me with more questions than answers. Here’s hoping for a definitive yea or nay. At this point, I’m thinking the smart bet would be on the former.

The comparison of dimensions shown in this clip is pretty compelling. (And, btw, great beard.)

A commendable effort, but keep the champagne on ice for now.

I meant to say just the opposite. Call it creeping decrepitude.

Yes. Like the Woman in the article, I also find it a little odd that, after so many decades, the image seems to show an aircraft that is almost completely intact. As they say, the only way to know for sure will be to send a submersible down for a closer look and to maybe retrieve a piece of the thing.

We know, that they simply couldn't reach the atoll with the plane, 400 miles from Howland Island and we know, that the Nikumaroro/Gardner Island bones are not hers. So it's clear to me. They ditched near Howland Island. I thought, that was the question, which is answered.

Tony Romeo said, that the ocean floor is "incredible flat and smooth" in this area and natural formations would be unusual.

So, if it's an airplane, wanna bet, it's another? Any WW II military plane?

I'm actually reseaching, if the U.S. Forces lost a Lockheed Ventura or North American B-25 Mitchell from their stations at the Salomon Islands and Gilbert Islands (Hawkins Field/Tarawa) in the area of Howland Island.

Thats a good theory. How would you find such information?

I don't know. I'm just researching online, if there are any operational reports.
