Because she adored being a celebrity
Flying solo over long distances is a risk in itself.
Yes Amelia Earhart chased her drams until the end, she believed that the effort was the thrill, despite the risk. "it is better to have tried and lost than to have never tried at all" and "The greatest risk in life is not taking one."
no it is not at risk
I suppose you might think of her in that way, but she was the first woman to fly the Atlantic solo (alone). This happened in the relatively early days of flying. I'm sure that she would have considered all the risks, and would have ensured that she rated highly as a pilot, as well as ensuring that her aircraft was prepared to the highest standards of those days. She was an explorer, and a very brave woman. During World War 2 many aeroplanes, including fighters and bombers, were piloted across that ocean by single women pilots. Of course their aeroplanes were far more advanced but they too were "risk takers".
Her accomlishment was that she flew over the large Atlantic Ocean when she was only 31 years old. She was the first woman pilot to do so. Another one of her accomplishments was that she was the first woman in the world to fly an airplane and to take a risk. Amelia Earhart was such an amazing woman and is known world- wide.
She would have been a lady with a dream, a vision to have thought of something like that in the first place. Training followed up with dedication, and a belief that she would succeed is what must have made her take up the agenda.
Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans solo. She also won many aviation trophies and set many records. During an attempt to circumnavigate the earth, AE's plane went down somewhere in the South Pacific and the whereabouts of the plane and her body are still unknown. Some believe that they have just found her bones on some small island. See the Earhart link to the right for more information. Note that Amelia "Earhart" is a common but incorrect spelling. Amelia used to work at a amusement park,she built roller coasters \
Amelia Earhart was a risk-taker. She had been challenging herself for years, repeatedly participating in flying events and making difficult trips by air, such as her flight across the Atlantic in 1928. Prior to her June 1937 attempt at an around-the-world trip, she had sometimes undertaken flights that put her life in danger; she was doing what no other woman aviator had ever accomplished. It was in early 1937 when she decided she wanted to try to be the first woman to fly around the world. She began her preparation in March 1937, by making her first practice attempt at a long distance flight; unfortunately, that effort was not only unsuccessful, but worse yet, it seriously damaged her plane. Undaunted, she was determined to try again, as she had confidence in her ability to make one last amazing flight. She had her twin-engine plane repaired and rebuilt, and took off from Miami on June 1st, with her navigator Fred Noonan. As we know today, she did not complete that flight; but the fact that she was unsuccessful was not in any way due to a lack of preparation nor a lack of courage on her part. She died doing what she loved most.
They took the risk of there aircraft seriously injured but apparently they didn't get hurt
the plane may crash is certainly a risk
No, Only if you fly with someone who has swine flu, or you are flying to or from mexico.
yes people who drink to much are at risk.
