Gold on board?
They were throwing OUT of the airplane basic survival items like extra water, life boats, a second radio, batteries, food ....
If any gold is found = This isn’t her airplane.
Agree. A lot of strange things about the whole Amelia Earhart story with all the manpower and ships in the area they could not find anything of her nor the plane.
I wish I had saved the link I read once, a guy made an argument that he did not think she was actually female and had to sort of disappear to save her legacy after seeing some of the pics he had of her it sort of made you go HMMM.
