Amelia Earhart, a U.S. aviation pioneer and fighter for women’s rights, was the 16th woman to become a licensed pilot. She was the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane, with a team, and shortly thereafter she completed the distance flying solo. Amelia Earhart set several altitude, distance and speed records. Thus, she was able to prove that women are also capable of doing things that were exclusively reserved for men in her time. Amelia Earhart is best known for her attempt to fly around the world in 1937 with navigator Frederick J. Noonan in her Lockheed Electra 10E Special. They disappeared on July 2, 1937, en route from Lae, New Guinea, to Howland Island in the Central Pacific. The large-scale search for her and her navigator was unsuccessful. What happened to her and Noonan remains a mystery to this day.

This flight is dedicated to the memory of Amelia Mary Earhart and Frederick Joseph Noonan.

Just spotted your bush trip. I’m prepping to doing it. No gps and no LittleNavMap tracking but will use VORs to determine where I am. Plus looking out the window!

Thanks for the work.

Go get the Celestial Navigation addon so you can navigate by the stars. So when you have no VOR in range you can still determine your position.

Yes it is a handful to get into but it is extremely satisfying once you get a decent result :slight_smile:

Im having trouble installing this. Downloaded. Extracted. Put folder into community folder. HOWL appears on airport list so think thats worked. Restarted MSFS and this does not appear in bush trips or custom content. Feel reall silly asking this but what could I be doing wrong here?

Hi a11mark,
The Electra 10E Special is payware. Did you purchase it?
If you look in your community folder, the folders “koschi-bushtrip-earhart01-00007” and “koschi-bushtrip-earhart02-00006” should be there. If this is the case, you have installed the mission correctly.
If the mission is still not displayed, you may find some useful tips on this page: Help and Support (en-US)
