Amelia Project Flight Set for June 23 Launch
Amelia Rose Earhart will fly a Pilatus PC-12 NG equipped with an Inmarsat-based Satcom1 system on circumnavigation flight.

Contemporary aviatrix Amelia Rose Earhart made a stop at EBACE last week, one month before she takes off from Oakland, Calif., for The Amelia Project, attempting a circumnavigation flight that her unrelated namesake never completed in a Lockheed 10 Electra in 1937. She will be flying a much more reliable Pilatus PC-12 NG equipped with an Inmarsat-based Satcom1 satcom system that will enable her to stream the entire flight to followers around the globe.
