    WAIT!!!! WAIT!!!!

    The famous last words by one of the pioneer aviatrix who never took no for an answer.

    Certainly! "Expedition Amelia" is a fascinating TV movie that explores the disappearance of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart during her attempted flight around the world in 1937. The film chronicles the modern-day efforts of a team of scientists and historians to solve the mystery of Earhart's disappearance, using cutting-edge technology to search for clues. While the pacing can be slow at times, the film is elevated by its engaging subject matter and the passion of the experts involved. Overall, "Expedition Amelia" is a must-watch for anyone interested in Earhart's legacy and the enduring mystery of her final flight.

    Amelia Earhart ... compelling evidence.

    "Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others."

    Amelia Earhart July 24, 1897; disappeared July 2, 1937

    Well made and presented documentary.

    Amelia Earhart died, but her spirit lives on.

      Narrator: It's a nice story. But like all the other evidence obtained here over the decades, there is no provable link to Amelia or her plane.
