Amelia Rose Earhart (born January 18, 1983)[2] is an American private pilot and former reporter for the NBC affiliate KUSA-TV in Denver, Colorado. She is known for completing a global circumnavigation flight in a single-engine aircraft and for her work as a traffic and weather news anchor.
In 2013, Earhart started the Fly With Amelia Foundation, which grants flight scholarships to girls aged 16–18.[3]
Earhart took her first flying lesson on June 2, 2004, and obtained her private pilot certificate in a Cessna 172. In December 2011, she recreated her namesake's transcontinental flight from Oakland, California to Miami, Florida in a Cirrus SR22, as part of her instrument training hours.[4]
In 2013, she was awarded the Amelia Earhart Pioneering Achievement Award by the Atchison, Kansas Chamber of Commerce.[5]
In partnership with Denver's Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Earhart completed a circumnavigation of the globe in a single-engine airplane with her copilot, Shane Jordan.[6] They started the global circumnavigation flight on June 26, 2014, and completed it on July 11, 2014, without incident.[7]
She is the second youngest woman to fly around the world, following Richarda Morrow-Tait, who was the first.[8]
In 2023, she co-wrote and self-published her first book, titled Learn to Love the Turbulence.[9]
