Amelia Earhart

I have been watching some tidbits of news about this aviator. With the calculations and modern equipment, what is the chances that they will find her aircraft? There has been possible evidence of her survival on a remote island. Discovery channel will be on site filming possible finds and will air it as a documentary in August. Very interesting. Gotta love history.

I'll be watching in August for sure! The history of early aviation is something i've always enjoyed learning about. I had the pleasure back in 2002 of helping build an aircraft (Lancair Columbia 300) for Charles Lindbergh's grandson Erik Linbergh to retrace the 3,610 mile flight across the Atlantic his grandfather did back in 1927 in the aircraft the Spirit of St. Louis. Alot of us at work were kinda choked up the day he thanked us and talked about what the flight meant to him.

Charles Lindbergh, a great piece of history too. He was awarded the chance to fly a fighter with our military during WWII and shot down an enemy adversary. It wasn't too long after that his celebrity status got him grounded and out of the war zone.
