I'd read in a magazine several years ago that they'd recovered pieces of an aircraft on some island in the Pacific, including a navigator's table consistent with the type installed in Amelia Earhardt's Lockheed.

I will be interested to see if there is any truth in this...

Amelias family actually camps with us at Oshkosh. We met a few years ago when the EAA was doing a special tribute. They happened to Camp next to us and we got to know each other. Now they are regulars and part of our camping circle.

When I get home Ill shoot off an Email to them and see if they have heard anything.

It would seem the search will never end. I have spent the last 4 hours or so reading through these websites. There is so much about this last flight that is shrouded in mystery, you can sit here for days going through the information. A totally fascinating mystery.

TIGHAR's website

Nauticos, claim to have 90% assurance they have found the plane.

Be warned. You can lose a lot of time reading all of the information. Luckily for me, I am off today!

See, now THIS is what happens when you rely on a handheld GPS for IFR navigation.

Yeah but Noonan's GPS was the more reliable analog type.

I thought it was because Kurt Tank didn't design their aircraft?

I hope they did find her. She still owes my five bucks.
