Don't look much like a Lockheed Electra to me. [Esso, former pilot.] Good Lord, but they have found Katherine Hepburn! [Esso, old movie fan]

Ping-a-tooie!
It's a typical Pacific island that was occupied off and on over the decades up until the 1960's, so debris around the island means nothing. Hell, debris is around damn near every island in the Pacific just from the war. I remain sceptical about this latest claim to have found the elusive plane of Amelia Earhart.
Mike Flaherty: Yeah, it's been there a long time. I wish I knew which corner.

The reason for the search around this island is that supposedly, analysis of radio transmissions in the days after her disappearance revealed about half of them to be credibly from her, and that this island appears to be the one referred to in those transmissions. I think it was given a flyover at the time but no plane was spotted. It's speculated that the plane might have already been swept out to sea by then. Who knows? I remain sceptical about this latest claim to have found the elusive plane of Amelia Earhart.
