Trucking Talk Show Remembers Amelia Earhart


Blog talk radio’s:  Truth About Trucking “LIVE” remembered aviation transportation’s pioneer, Amelia Earhart, this evening on their talk radio program.  July 2nd, 2009 will be 72 years since Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared over the Pacific ocean while attempting to fly around the world.

Recognizing Amelia for her accomplishments and her stance for women’s rights, the show also included a two minute speech she made in 1935 which became known as the “Women in Aviation” Speech, where she proclaimed her amazement at the ability to be able to fly at a whopping 200 MPH.

What would she think today, of the fact that we have flown at Mach 9.6 – nearly 7000 MPH?   Nasa’s Hypersonic X43A Scramjet hit the mark back in 2004:

After 72 years, the question still remains:  Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
