The group traveled to Hoover Field airport and boarded one of Eastern Air Transport's twin-engine Curtiss Condor planes. Earhart's only training on the system was a brief introduction by Joe Gurr at the Lockheed factory, and the topic had not come up.

Ric Gillespie of TIGHAR believes that based on Earhart's last estimated position, somewhat close to Howland Island, it was impossible for the aircraft to end up at New Britain, 2,000 miles (3,200km) and over 13 hours' flight time away. Although the Electra was publicized as a "flying laboratory", little useful science was planned and the flight was arranged around Earhart's intention to circumnavigate the globe along with gathering raw material and public attention for her next book.On October 22, 1922, Earhart flew the Airster to an altitude of 14,000 feet (4,300m), setting a world record for female pilots. As the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic, Earhart received the Distinguished Flying Cross from Congress, the Cross of Knight of the Legion of Honor from the French Government and the Gold Medal of the National Geographic Society [111] from President Herbert Hoover.

However, a few moments later she was back on the same frequency (3105kHz) with a transmission that was logged as "questionable": "We are running on line north and south.

Gates combed several bone fragments from the area where the box had been found; these were DNA tested and determined to belong to a male.It does mark an epoch, doesn't it, when a girl in an evening dress and slippers can pilot a plane at night. Chronic sinusitis significantly affected Earhart's flying and activities in later life, [40] and sometimes even on the airfield she was forced to wear a bandage on her cheek to cover a small drainage tube. I would totally wear this outfit in daily life, except for the goggles of course ;) She looks so cool, a real heroine. Female pilots were few and far between, but Amelia wanted to prove that women could fly just as well as men.
