One of the
greatest mysteries of the 20th Century is the disappearance of
Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan on their famed around the world
flight in 1937. The world was watching every aspect of the flight, but her
plane disappeared, never to be found again.
In Ghost
Flight, Scott Tanner and his quirky partner David Stafford are attempting to
re-create the leg of the famous flight where Amelia Earhart’s plane
disappeared. In an effort to find the lost plane, or determine what went wrong.
Stafford builds an exact replica of the Lockheed Electra Amelia used on her fateful
flight and aptly names it Spirit of Amelia.
In an effort to be as accurate as possible, the plane is equipped with every
item the plane carried including circa 1937 radio and navigation equipment. To
play it safe, they also have backed up the outdated navigation equipment with
modern instruments that they will only use if there is an emergency. What could
go wrong?
Unknown to
Scott and David there are those who wish the mystery of Amelia Earhart left
unsolved and their efforts to stop the flight are made know before they even
leave Oakland Airport, the same place Earhart began her historic attempt. As
they fly over the same isolated part of the Pacific where Amelia disappeared,
David and Scott began to understand what could have happened on that fateful
day back in 1937. Now, Scott and David’s lives are in danger and the likelihood
of them completing the flight to the tiny island in the Pacific, the same
island where the famed aviatrix never arrived, is in doubt.
