Dear Amelia… from Amelia Earhart | 75 years ago today, Amelia Earhart embarked upon her final flight… a flight that would go down in the world’s history as one of the most calculated risks, most

He and I were very fortunate to spend some quality aviation time together at AirVenture 2010. Since he was already too frail for the kind of walking required to see everything, a golf cart piloted by me became his magic carpet.
