Well said! I think the chances of locating Bigfoot are much better than trying to find a lost 115 year-old pilot in the South Pacific who has been missing for 75 years.

If someone wanted to spend their own dollars looking for the wreckage, then I’m fine with that just don’t use my tax dollars.
My guess is someone wants to make a new movie....Follow the money...
Aside from the purely academic status boost you’d get from saying “I found her,” what possible value is there in locating the time-worn remains of a woman who failed to achieve a somewhat ridiculous goal in the first place?
That must be engineers...
Every few years a cable network looks into things like this in hopes of getting a show out of it.
Then we all forget about her until the next time. Doesn't bother me one way or the other.
Maybe we need somebody checking on those "Minor Outlying Islands" and making sure they're still there and haven't been invaded ...
The only mystery to me is why would a company name a line of luggage after someone that took off in an airplane and never arrived at her destination...
That veger chick was hot she died broke sad story let me find it
Well said! Two comments:
1/ There are old pilots, and bold pilots, but no old, bold [and, if I may add] inadequately prepared, minimally competent and ill-equipped pilots. Sadly, Earhart was pushed into this for financial reasons by George Putnam, her husband. Noonan was a drunk, fired from Pan Am. Earhart was too lazy or disinterested to learn Morse and didn’t even have a telegraph key on board.
2/ As for the boys at TIGHAR: “A foole and his monie be soone at debate, which after with sorrow repents him too late.” Thomas Tusser.
You are correct. Somehow I got the impression this article author has ideas that even private money should be used for the advancement of humanity and not for what the owners of said cash want to do. If I’m right, this is another, “All money ultimately belongs to society and we will determine how it’s spent screed”.
Earhart Dining Court, my a$$.
Don’t get me (or my 747 Capt wife) started on how the 99s and other groups drool over her.
Plane lands or crashes in ocean—if plane breaks up—either way it sinks and will be difficult to locate. Sea water is solvent to the human body. There’s nothing left of them in the ocean if thats where they ended up — most likely scenario.
That was a plot of an Star Trek Voyager episode called, The 37's. Earhart and others abducted in 1937 are found on a planet in the far off "Delta Quadrant" of the Milk Way Galaxy.
Persis Khambatta? She died of complications from open-heart surgery around 1997-98.
Not just any engineers, but top notch engineers.
