Until TIGHAR can come up with something definitely aircraft-related with (hopefully) a traceable serial # I don't even bother with these Amelia stories anymore. Although that's a very nice pic of her that beana51 posted.

Yep, they're on their annual quest to fund another summer vacation. In another article it says they need $3-million for their next 'expedition'...for an organization that was originally founded on recovering vintage WWII aircraft, I can think of some known wrecks that that sort of money would be better spent on.

Not an update, but some more Amelia-centric news:

It would be nice to know for sure what happened, but I do not buy the Gardner Island theory. No evidence and some pretty far out maybe's.

There's some Australians who have just as solid a claim to having found Amelia's Electra crashed in the New Guinea jungle and at least they had some info on a data tag to back them up. But who knows? I sure don't

I remember reading about this one. I believe it was said that this aircraft was an army light twin that crashed during the war.

From the account that I read the numbers on the data tag traced back repairs that were done by Lockheed to Amelia's Electra after the Hawaii crash.

Sonar pic doesn't really show much if you ask me. It could still be debris from a nearby ship wreck.

[robert41]

No, cannot see much from the pictures posted. Could be from that shipwreck that occured before AE, or something from the settlement after.

UPDATE: Some other info may have surfaced.....
