| Amelia |
A full-time professional staff guides an international membership of researchers and supporters in the non-profit organization’s efforts to find, save, and preserve rare and historic aircraft. This group of no-nonsense professionals led by Ric Gillespie and Pat Thrasher are convinced that Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan landed on an uninhabited island in the Pacific (the Phoenix Island group) which was named Gardner at the time. It's name was later changed to Nikumaroro
Dr. Tom King, a well known archaeologist and author, made 6 expeditions with the group doing searches which turned up a number of items which seem to point to the conclusion that Amelia and Noonan did indeed land....and die...there.

Dr. King was kind enough to tape two half hour shows with us.
You don't want to miss these shows!
Watch PART ONE HERE
Watch PART TWO HERE

Also, I suggest that you pick up two of Tom's books, AMELIA EARHART'S SHOES and his latest (described as a "novel") THIRTEEN BONES as well as Ric Gillespie's book.....FINDING AMELIA.
But beware: the TIGHAR search for Amelia is addictive!
