Key Takeaways:
The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum is hosting two events on July 19-20 in Atchison, Kansas, focusing on Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance and ongoing search efforts.
The first event is a panel discussion with various explorers and experts, including Deep Sea Vision founder Tony Romeo, who will discuss theories and evidence surrounding Earhart's final flight.
The second event, "Deep Dive With Deep Sea Vision," will feature Tony and Lloyd Romeo detailing their 90-day underwater search expedition and their controversial sonar image, which they believe may show Earhart's aircraft, and plans for a confirmation expedition.
On July 2, 1937, aviatrix Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared while flying over the Pacific in their Lockheed Electra 10-E.
Although the disappearance was 87 years ago, it remains of interest to many. On July 19 and 20, it will be the topic of two separate events presented by the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum in Atchison, Kansas.
