FARGO, ND – The Fargo Air Museum is hosting an Evening with Earhart on Thursday, April 16. The program begins at 6:30PM about the life of Amelia Earhart presented by Nancy Earhart Burt.
Nancy is delighted to talk about her 2nd cousin Amelia’s amazing life story. “She was a pioneer for women in aviation. It is an honor to be able to share her story with all of you,” she shares. In the first half of the program, Amelia arrives in flight gear to share highlights of her amazing life story, including growing up in Kansas on the banks of the Missouri River and finding her interest in flying. When Amelia leaves, Nancy steps in to share “the rest of the story,” about what went wrong on her last flight, theories about what happened to Amelia, her marriage, the books she wrote, and how she made money for future flights. She shares all within an interesting and educational slideshow of Amelia Earhart’s life.
“The Fargo Air Museum is excited to host an event with a speaker that has direct family ties to one of the most influential pilots in American history,” states Max Sabin, Fargo Air Museum’s Collections Manager. “We are looking forward to hearing from Nancy about her famous cousin, Amelia Earhart, and learn more about what Amelia did for aviation, especially for women in aviation!”
