Her second stop out from California was New Orleans Lakefront Airport.

What's the chances of Earhart and Noonan smashing on the island?

Veritasium has a really great video about all of her mistakes and how navigation worked back then. It's a little long but interesting if you haven't seen it.

I’ve read a lot of things about her aviation skills, much of which said she had very little, everything for show, but not a great pilot

This is the plane she was flying. I have my doubts that the shape in the water came from a twin engine plane

I'll bet you I know where they are going to find it, the last place they look.

They should send Teedy to look for the plane. She is an expert for traveling all around with nothing to show for it.

Of all the planes that have crashed in the Pacific the odds that that, if it is a plane, is hers are slim to none.

I don’t think she was

She was in love with Eleanor Roosevelt and FDR had her taken out.



I really don’t care.

I think she did it for financial backing (shocker!)

I just did a google map satellite view from my couch. Found nothing. Case closed. Can I submit my bill to Purdue?

in the 80s, every few months there was a report of Noah's Arc being found.

They’re only putting this out because that other guy claimed he found it last year. He got so much publicity that it made these Purdue people jealous. They think they are entitled to be the only ones to find it.

Are you talking about Richard Pettigrew? That’s who Purdue is going with.
