Women's History Month Entry #1

Amelia Earhart was one of Aviations pioneers; her near trip around the world in 1937 was one of the footsteps to putting humans on the moon and space crafts on Mars. I admit she will be one of the main icons of the month; you can get million hits on google by typing in March…Amelia Earhart. Her trip around the globe was only apart of her life in Aviation. Amelia held a lot of Aviation records. In 1923, she was the 16^th women to receive a pilot’s license. Being a kind of a flyer my self, I’d be honored to be her right hand seat (aviation jargon for co-pilot) any day.

What probably gave her the special gift that she did was, that she did not grow up like normal women of her time. She was very into the outdoors, her and her sister Grace Muriel Earhart. Amelia and her sister were close, they would go out and collect small animal like toads together. Amelia and her family moved around a lot. What makes Amelia Earhart special is not just that she was a women Aviator. She was a much respected aviator. It is just sad that she did not make it all the way; she covered a lot of ground. The problem was the Pacific Ocean. It is a very big ocean that took a long time and fuel to fly. In early Aviation days, it was considered almost impossible. This very phenomenon would shape the history of World War II.

One thing I can ashore you is that Amelia was not a lager lout. She spent a lot of time flying and aircrafts and lager don’t mix, just as car and lager don’t mix.
