Default Amelia Earhart.... Are they close....?

Hi all, a hobby of mine for many years has been aircraft archeaology... At this moment there is an expedition on Nikumaroroo Island in the middle of the pacific. It looks like these guys have dug up some aircraft parts that MIGHT belong to an electra....

Have a look.

I have been watching things un fold via their mailing list.

Location is not a problem.... Niku is so remote and isolated. What these guys need to do to get out there is stagering.

Amelia Earhart is reportedly on a spacecraft near Saturn as a childcare worker for the Biaviians as advised by the very reputable Riley Martin. :P
