Why you would want to meet Amelia Earhart?
Many people would love to meet Amelia Earhart. Why? Well, she was the first women to ever fly around the Atlantic Ocean solo. Sadly she went missing and they haven't been able to find her remains. As i said, many people would love to meet her and ask her questions. They might include: Were you a spy for the US military? How far did you get? What went wrong and caused you to die or go missing? Unfortunately, even if Earhart didn't die and she just went to some remote island, she would be dead today. I guess maybe in heaven those questions will be answered.

Was Amelia earnheart ever found?
People have said that she has been found but it is still a mystery so no they have not found her yet.
Yes, and no. They say that they have found half a skull. They sent it some where to be looked at. First they said that is was male but then they sent else where and they said different. They said it was more likely female than male more likely white than Polynesian or other Pacific Islander most likely between 5'5" and 5'9" in height. Consistent with Amelia Earhart. But there is a low level of certainty.

Elizabeth (Bessie) Coleman, from Atlanta, Texas, was the first female African-American to receive her pilot's license in the US. (Not in the world.)

She learned the French language to be able to attend an aviation school in France, where racism was not an issue.

Apart from flying, she was known to be active in Photography. at the time of her last flight, she was involved in the marketing scheme of a new type of Photometer or light meter. owing to ( bad Flak) the device was never marketed with Amelia in any ads- this is analogous to taking model cars with some race driver who is no longer living- off the market.
Did Amelia Earhart play any sports for fun?
Amelia seems to have been what we today would call a "tomboy." She loved to build things, and while she studied the subjects girls of her era were supposed to study, the museum devoted to her life notes that she enjoyed playing sports with the boys. In a 1927 interview with a Boston newspaper, she said she enjoyed horseback riding, and she also enjoyed golf and tennis. She also had tried sailing. (In fact, newspapers of that time referred to her as not just a "flyer", as it was then spelled, but as a "sportswoman.") She told the interviewer she began flying airplanes almost as if that too was a sport; she said she enjoyed trying new things and she loved adventure.
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??

Certainly! a National heroine could not help but attract the attention of the First Family including the powerful Distaff side, Eleanor Roosevelt. A juvenile book has been done on this subject-Amelia and Eleanor go for a Ride-about a real fllight of a sightseing nature that (crazy I hear a propeller plane overhead in the background as I am typing this) The Aviatrix partook of with the First lady-Possibly one or Two Secret service men riding in the back passenger seats? Get the trenchcoat out of your head here! It was an innocent sightseeing hop. Amelia and Eleanor were certainly friends.

What are the physical characteristics of Amelia Earhart?
She was intelligent, independent, smart and well educated person; with a very certain charm and personal "charisma" specially noted by many who ever contacted her. Those who knew her remembered that politeness combined in her with determination of the person who knew well what she wanted, and was able to fight hard for a goal she settled. Some remembers that she could be really stubborn going her way - "harder then nails" as one person wrote. Her biographers also noted that the "working ethics was athavistically strong" in her. She loved books and poetry (particularly the French classic poetry) and knew 4 foreign languages. She also loved sport, especially riding, hiking and swimming. almost everybody who knewher privately noted that she always liked animals (cats, dogs, birds). Despite her popular "androgenous image" (of a pilot in a masculine-looking flying suits and googles) those who knew her as a private personality (or met her at some social events etc) remembers that private Earhart was pretty feminine and had a pleasant soft mannerism. A pretty good impression about her private personality can be obtained from reading her books - especially "The Fun Of It" from 1932. Alex V. Mandel (Amelia Earhart historian)
