Wow, it would be crazy if they found her plane after 90 years or whatever.

If it was discovered in 2020, why the wait till 2025 to check it out?

They tell everyone in the world where it is. What’s to stop someone from going there and “discovering” it themselves?

Howland is a fly-speck of an island. My guess is they overflew it perhaps circled looking for it on their last 15 minutes of fuel and crashed in the ocean.

IT’s been speculated that her trips were part of the US Intel/China Clipper operation whereby the US set up stopovers at strategic locations for the US China trim. Particularly of interest were existing infrastructure that could support or easily made to support Clipper (and later US mission) operations.

“Just walk & wade out to it from the beach.”

No way! You can’t make enough money begging for donations if you do that!

Not a chance. Just somebody fishing for free publicity.

#1, the hardest place in the ocean for a man-made structure to survive is in the tidal zone. Waves would have beaten anything as flimsy as an unpressurized airplane hull to death in well less than 80+ years.

#2, not a hint of the Lockheed 10 Electra's YUGE radial engines OR engine nacelles, and no indication that a YUGE chunk is missing from the wings where the engines should be.

#3, no taper to the wings. Wing chord at the root should be a quarter of the airframe's overall length. What's in the picture is barely bigger than a helicopter's rotor.
