C'mon Katy, you've seen enough pictures of her to know that she wasn't
pretty.

Maybe not earthshakingly pretty, but certainly not ugly...so she looks like
a normal human being...why should that make anyone sick?

She was a free spirit. I admire her and wonder what she could have
become or how she might have chnaged the world if she had not been lost.

Bwahahahhahahahaha. She was an early example of the art of celebrity making.
Celebrated as the first female to fly across the Atlantic, she was dismayed
to discover that the actual pilots were completely ignored by the media, she
herself was merely a passenger on the plane. Nonetheless, she continued on
her career path, hubris contributing to her not so untimely disappearance.
She wasn't a particularily good flyer, not even a good female flyer, merely
a well publicized one.

As you can see, it's still a money making enterprise.

I'm sure it is. Do you really think she accomplished nothing?

Depends on your take on the importance of heroic figures in modern society.
For the most part, Earhart merely became the first woman to accomplish this
or that aviation milestone.

http://www.ameliaearhart.com/about/achievements.html

As you might notice from the list, only four of the milestones were actual
firsts, three of these were dubious achievements, the first person to fly
solo between Mexico City and Newark, for example. I think even she would
admit that her celebrity was much greater than her talent as an aviator. I
firmly believe that if she had not disappeared in such a spectacular fashion
she would have been largely forgotten by now. At the time she was a
superstar, the US government spent four million in 1937 searching for her.
Her greatest accomplishment was becoming a semi-mythical figure.

She was of the same age as Beryl Markham and Karen Von Blixen...there were
many women in her era who did marvelous things...

Too bad things have changed so much these days where
most women are mediocre in there efforts.

Dr. Laura, Laura Bush, Ann Coulter, and Lady Pilot are among
the few notables.

Beryl Markham was a great pilot and a fabulous writer.

"Lucky Lindy" was a great pilot; but a Nazi apologist/supporter. On
balance, I personally put him in the "asshole" category.

But to comment on the original post/photo... does it bother anyone but
me that:

She's not wearing adequate rotorcraft headphones.
She's in the copilot/student seat.
She has her "off" hand filled with some little microphone or something
when it should be on the collective.

Looks to me like she's the "hostess" of a siteseeing craft, not its
pilot.
