Today in Aviation History - March 19, 1937... An attempted round-the-world flight by leading US woman aviator Amelia Earhart ends dramatically when the starboard tire of her Lockheed Electra airliner bursts during take-off from Honolulu, Hawaii. Because of damage, the expedition is temporary abandoned. The first leg from Oakland, California to Honolulu on March 17 was made in 16 hours, an east/west record. ___________________________ Free paper planes for the kids www.funpaperairplanes.com www.paperairplanes.co.uk/ www.bestpaperairplanes.com/ www.amazingpaperairplanes.com/ www.10paperairplanes.com/ ___________________________ Aviation Weather Links www.nws.noaa.gov/ www.noaa.gov/wx.html http://maps.avnwx.com/ www.usairnet.com/weather/ Questions or Comments ?
