EDIT by Moderator: This Flight Set is eligible for award status.
I am going to start over and do it on MaxFreight. I don't plan to interupt my logbook with other flights until I am finished. I have the the mod. that mimics her plane from Flightsim.com, also the flight plans.Both are available at www.flightsim.com just search Amelia Earhart or d/l l10eae01.zip - the best that I could find and is modified the way she had her's. The most realistic on the web.
Also there are flight plans under the same topic aewfv01.zip
A site is also available that has given alternate airport where the originals of 1937 are no more. That site
is www.airnorthwest.org/specops/amelia/amelia.htm
I will be doing most on the server at flyfs.hopto.org/ but some I will do on Vatsim.
If anyone would like to join me you are welcome. This is something I've wanted to do since I started on FS and now I'am gonna get it done.
EDIT: Please note the scenery for Howland Island at the above link is for X-plane. Scenery for FS9 / FSX is available at flightsim.com Just search "Howland Island". |

Updated. Regardless what METAR say's I have real weather and no visibilty at 4,000ft. for approach visual. 1500ft. 8nm out SBNT - no visual due to cloud cover. I like as challenges like this keep me going and learning. I didn't see ground until 300ft. above Rwy16L - killed pwr. and coasted to terminal. The most adventurous flight so far this trip. Next leg over 13 hours! I will do much while sleeping but will do on HopTo server. |

I love that you post info on each route. Considering my own host server and these would be great Hop flt's!
As for the server, they are all like that! I installed FSHostSpy. List hundreds of servers for MSFS & P3D.
Very small file (I'll email to you), find one you like with people on and go there!
Have fun and fly strong girl! Your one-third done!!!!!
