Ep 90 - Echoes of the Sky: Amelia Earhart's Enduring Influence
Description
Welcome to Women's History Month!!! We start with our Amelia Earhart - who will never be 40. Amelia HAD to fly. She had to fly for herself, she had to fly for women in aviation, and she had to fly for all of us. We needed a star to look for for adventure and strength, and Amelia was it. Join us in learning about her many pre-flight careers, her popularity as a pilot, and the records she made!
What do you think happened to her on her last flight? Let us know!
