New lead reported in Earhart search
OXFORD, Pa. – A suburban Philadelphia group trying to solve the Amelia Earhart mystery has new reason to think a piece of aluminum found on a Pacific atoll came from her lost plane.
The Philly.com website reports Thursday that rivet holes on the 2-foot-wide piece seem to match the design of a window patch made on Earhart’s plane before her 1937 flight.
He and other experts and enthusiasts will return to the island in June for another research trip.
Four die after plane crashes in Wichita
WICHITA, Kan –A small plane lost power after takeoff and crashed into a flight-training building while trying to return to a Kansas airport Thursday, killing four people, injuring five others and igniting a fire that sent up towering plumes of black smoke that could be seen for miles around Wichita.
Three of the dead were inside a flight simulator in the building when the plane crashed into it at the city’s Mid-Continent Airport.
