Re: Amelia

zane,

I can never pass up a flying movie....even the lousy ones and most are. This looks like a good one. It will be fun to continue the fantasy. Actually history demonstrates that Amelia was a lousy pilot sponsored by a rich husband. She crashed airplanes over and over and leaned on experienced pilots and navigators to carry her through. Give her credit for her courage certainly. But her accomplishments and tragic loss were really publicity stunts....that only the wealth could afford to play at.

Sorry if I offend anyone. But aviation history is available for those who wish to sort the truth from the fantasy.

Does the name Steve Fossett ring a bell?
