The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum is hosting two events on July 19 and 20 in Atchison, Kansas, coinciding with the annual Amelia Earhart Festival, to discuss the enduring mystery of her disappearance.
The first event, "Adventure Amelia," is a panel discussion featuring experts and explorers, including Tony Romeo of Deep Sea Vision, to explore theories and evidence regarding Earhart's lost aircraft.
The second event, "Deep Dive with Deep Sea Vision," will feature the Romeo brothers detailing their extensive search process, the recent sonar images they believe show Earhart's plane, and their 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.
