Emelia Earhart flies again

Just read this on USA Today. Pretty cool! I hope they are successful. How do I get Pilatus to sponsor me to fly to JC next year? :mrgreen:

That's our Amelia!

She does Traffic reports and Weather for the local NBC affiliate here, KUSA.

Good for her; she's been planning this for a while, and sounds like they've got an awesome plane for the journey.

Best of Luck!!

I like Amelia v2.0. She's a LOT easier on the eyes. Damn lucky navigator too.

Re: Emelia Earhart flies again

I saw her story on 9news (she works for the local station in Denver), but I recall she was going to do it in a Cirrus... Would be way more sporting than a turboprop.

Good for her to get more people into aviation.
