Which plane did Amelia Earhart fly across the pacific?
Amelia Earhart, at age 40, flew a Lockheed Electra Vega (along with her navigator Fred Noonan) around the world. She did not make the entire trip and was last seen in Japan.In 1928, the plane that she flew across the Atlantic as a passenger, piloted by Wilmer Stutz, was a Fokker F.VIIB called the "Friendship."When she made her solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932, landing in Ireland, the plane was a Lockheed Vega that she referred to as the "Little Red Bus," probably due to its comparatively roomy interior.The jury is out on this one. Some say it was a Lockheed Vega and others claim a Fokker F....can anyone help out here??
What plane did Amelia Earhart fiy?
There are several planes correctly associated with Amelia Earhart. There was also an autogyro used for altitude record attempts (many of which still hold as autogyros are obsolete). Her autogyro flights were sponsored by the Beech-Nut company.Her first was a yellow Kinner Airster that she bought in 1921. Amelia named it 'Canary'Her second was an Avro Avian bought in 1929 in England.Fokker tri-motor on floats used for her first Atlantic hop, code named Friendship. This was a Fokker F.VIIB piloted by Wilmer Stutz. This was owned by a publishing company.Lockheed Vega landplane ( high winged, red) known affectionately by Amelia as the little Red Bus. Either it or an identical production model is in the Smithsonian air and space museum.(2) Model l0-E Electras, one written off in a minor accident in Hawaii, the other used in her ill-fated circumnavigation attempt known correctly as the Electra Project. The Electra had different N-serial and radio call letter numbers- the radio call sign being KHAQQ. The fact different codes were used for the regular serial number and the radio call sign (normally these are the same or related) may suggests something clandestine. The N-number roughly corresponds to an automobile "license plate number."

What are the names of Amelia Earhart's planes?
she was on an amazing flight that sucked. Among others, including those leased or used for stunts: Kinner training plane, Avro Avian biplane , Fokker Trimotor on Floats ( Friendship) used in first Atlantic crossing in l928 with two male pilots, Amelia functioning as (Fwd.Observer) and a very observant and pertinent Observer she was)- Various forms of autogiros for stunt work, she had a minor accident with one but was miraculously unhurt- also held an altitude record for autogiros piloted by women which still stands.- Lockheed Vega with red and Gold Paint job-solo Atlantic Crossing of l932, and of course the Ill-Fated Lockheed Electra l0E of Electra Project fame. It is interesting to note she only owned or had title to two of these planes- the Lockheed Vega(Nicknamed the Red Bus)-now in the Smithsonian and the Electra. In a sense there were two Electras appointed identically as one was a stand=by spare (good idea for a world cruising mission) Electra no.l l was written off in a crash on take-off and the propeller gear was irreparable damaged-hence Electra ll brought out of the hanger. Getting off airplanes, the Aviatrix had some neat automobiles such as a Kissel kar(survives in a museum) and a "37 Cord. {2} wow dude where did you get this info! please tell me in the next 24 hours it is October 28
