Taun Posted January 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2013 On 11 January 1935 Amelia Earhart successfully flew solo from Honolulu, Hawaii to Oakland, California. The 2,400 mile (3,862 km) flight took 18 hours and earned her a $10,000 prize as the first to ever do so. $10,000 in 1935 is the equivalent of about $160,000 today... http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/earhart-flies-from-hawaii-to-california 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted January 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wish she hadn't of disappeared. That's the chance you take when trying something daring. Do wish they could of found wreckage or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
