Amelia Earhart
I started learning about her when we learned about Kansas.
I wanted to learn more.
She loved roller coasters when she was a kid. She loved planes.
She had 3 different planes. One of them floated on the water. It was called Friendship.
She had a partner when she flew to Hawaii.
Her last plane was the Electra. The cockpit was only 5 feet in every direction. There were 2 people in the cockpit.
In one of the planes, they took out all the radio equipment because they didn’t know how to use it.
She was probably within 500 miles from an island. She crashed.
They found 1/2 of her plane and they found bones on an island they think were her.
They think that coconut crabs took some of their bones.

That is cool. What did you like best about learning about her?

I’m glad you enjoyed learning about her…now you have me wanting to read about her too!
I didn’t know she loved roller coasters. That’s neat! Have you heard about Zac Sunderland, a teenager who sailed around the world by himself last year? There are still plenty of adventures out there to be had. I wonder what adventures God has in store for YOUR life?! It will be exciting to see, won’t it?
that is pretty interesting! I now know more about her than I did before I came over!
Amelia Earhart’s life and story has always been of interest to me. Thanks for sharing what you have learned. I especially liked learning that she loved roller coasters as a kid.
When I graduated high school I wanted to be a pilot and almost went to school for that. I’d still like to get my pilot’s license at some point. So I love reading about Amelia Earhart. She sounds like a really spunky gal. Thanks for sharing! Hope you are doing well!
Very Interesting!!! did it make you think about the
plane you flew in??? Pam, South Bend
No, it made me think about crashing basically.
Great post James! I need to check out a book and read about her. Thanks for the idea!
Those are some interesting things I never knew about her.
There is footage of her at my local airport, when she stopped here…and did you know you’ve met someone she’s related to?
Great post, my daughter does a blog also. It’s fun isn’t it?
