I have always been fascinated by Amelia Earhart. She was a pioneer, an adventurer and she is at the center of one of the world's greatest mysteries. Seventy five years ago this month her Lockheed Electra disappeared somewhere in the Pacific Ocean during the last leg of her around the world flight. Did her plane run out of gas and crash into the ocean? Did she and her navigator land on a deserted island and die as castaways? We still don't know the truth but hopefully one day we will.
In honor of Amelia Earhart's 115th Birthday we have a new podcast for your listening pleasure. My friend Olivia and I discuss the aviatrix's accomplishments, her world records and her disappearance. We also discuss the new search for plane by The International Group For Historical Aircraft Recovery or TIGHAR for short. If you're an Amelia Earhart fan, give it a listen. You might learn something new or remember something you've forgotten.
