Le 24 décembre 1971, à l'aéroport de Lima, au Pérou, une adolescente germano-péruvienne de 17 ans embarque avec sa mère à bord du vol 508 de la compagnie LANSA. Juliane Koepcke est fille de deux scientifiques installés dans la jungle amazonienne. Avec sa mère, Maria, elle s'apprête à rejoindre son père à Pucallpa pour fêter Noël en famille.Mais la saison des pluies bat son plein. Le vol décolle malgré une météo instable. Peu après avoir franchi les Andes, l'avion, un Lockheed Electra, entre dans une violente cellule orageuse. À 6 400 mètres d'altitude, une décharge électrique frappe l'aile. En quelques secondes, la carlingue se déchire en plein ciel. Juliane est projetée hors de l'avion, attachée à son siège, en chute libre vers la jungle amazonienne.Contre toute logique, elle survit à la chute. Elle se réveille des heures plus tard, couchée au sol, dans un fouillis de végétation. Elle a une clavicule cassée, un œil enflé, une profonde plaie au bras et souffre de vertiges. Elle a perdu une chaussure et ses lunettes. Autour d'elle, la jungle est épaisse, chaude, vivante. Elle est seule.Mais Juliane n'est pas une adolescente ordinaire. Enfant, elle a vécu avec ses parents dans une station de recherche en Amazonie. Elle sait que l'eau est la clé de la survie. En titubant, elle trouve un ruisseau et décide de le suivre. Son père lui avait appris que les rivières mènent aux hommes.Elle commence alors une marche lente et harassante. Son seul ravitaillement : quelques bonbons retrouvés dans sa poche. Elle boit l'eau du ruisseau. Le jour, elle marche. La nuit, elle s'abrite sous les feuillages, épuisée, vulnérable. Elle est couverte de piqûres d'insectes. Sa blessure au bras s'infecte. Des asticots s'y développent. Elle continue malgré tout. Elle pense à ses parents. Elle veut survivre.Au cours de son errance, elle découvre les restes de l'avion. Elle reconnaît des vêtements. Elle comprend que sa mère n'a pas survécu. Mais elle ne s'arrête pas.Le onzième jour, alors qu'elle est fiévreuse, déshydratée, elle aperçoit une cabane abandonnée. À l'intérieur, une bouteille d'essence. Elle s'en sert pour nettoyer sa plaie infestée de larves. Le lendemain, des bûcherons arrivent. Ils sont d'abord terrifiés en voyant cette jeune fille méconnaissable, maigre, couverte de sang et de boue. Mais Juliane parvient à leur expliquer ce qui s'est passé. Ils la prennent en charge, la transportent en pirogue jusqu'au premier poste médical. Elle est ensuite transférée en avion vers un hôpital.Juliane Koepcke est la seule survivante des 92 passagers du vol 508. Son histoire fait le tour du monde. Elle raconte plus tard son aventure dans un livre bouleversant, Quand je suis tombée du ciel. Devenue biologiste comme ses parents, elle retourne en Amazonie… non plus comme une victime, mais comme une femme qui a survécu à l'inimaginable. Hébergé par Acast.

Amelia Earhart fliegt in ihrer Lockheed Electra hoch über dem Ozean. Es ist der 2. Juli 1937, Earhart steht kurz davor als erster Mensch die Welt zu umrunden. Sie weiß nicht, dass sie von diesem Abenteuer nicht zurückkehren wird. Weder ihr Flugzeug noch Earhart selbst und ihr Begleiter konnten gefunden werden. Eine bis heute ungeklärte Geschichte. Wer ist diese mutige Frau, die von jungen amerikanischen Frauen als Idol gefeiert wurde, als erste Frau den Atlantik im Alleinflug überquerte und sich vehement einsetze für Frauen und das Aufbrechen der Geschlechterrollen? Jo Lendle erzählt die Geschichte dieser beeindruckenden, selbstbestimmten und eigenwilligen Biografie. Zu Gast in "NDR Kultur à la carte" spricht er mit Andrea Schwyzer über Amelia Earhart, über seine Arbeit als Autor und seine Bücher, die er neben seinem Hauptberuf als Leiter des Hanser Verlages, auch noch zu Papier bringt.

The disappearance of Amelia Earhart is one of the most popular unsolved mysteries of all time. Since Conspiracy Theories last covered the topic in 2019, there have been several updates. Now well over 85 years old, it's one story that just won't quit — unless, of course, we finally get answers. For years, researchers and explorers have been searching for Amelia's missing Lockheed Electra. Has a team of newcomers finally found it? Conspiracy Theories is now on Instagram @theconspiracypod and TikTok @conspiracy.pod! Follow us to keep up with the show and get behind-the-scenes updates from Carter and the team.

The legendary aviator born in Atchison, Kansas, vanished over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 while on a quest to become the first women to fly around the world. Up To Date speaks with leading Earhart explorers about the recent high-profile search for her Lockheed Electra 10-E.

Na lang wachten is het eindelijk zover, Duister is terug met een nieuw seizoen en we maken een vliegende start!  In de geschiedenis van de luchtvaart is er geen persoon zo bewonderenswaardig en dapper als Amelia Earhart. Als één van de meest bekende en gedurfde vrouwelijke piloten van haar tijd, wordt Amelia een symbool van moed en vastberadenheid. Haar roem bereikt een hoogtepunt wanneer ze in 1937 op mysterieuze wijze verdwijnt boven de Stille Oceaan met haar co-piloot en navigator Fred Noonan, tijdens een poging om de wereld rond te vliegen in haar Lockheed Electra. Het verhaal van Amelia Earhart blijft tot op de dag van vandaag een bron van fascinatie en intrige, terwijl het mysterie rond haar verdwijning blijft voortduren. Daf vertelt je het hele verhaal! Kim heeft de Yuba County 5 al eens behandeld, en van de Dyatlov Pass heb je vast wel eens gehoord, maar ken je ook het verhaal van de zes wandelaars die op mysterieuze wijze om het leven komen in de bergen van Siberië?  Ga er lekker voor zitten, want je hoort het allemaal in deze eerste aflevering!

Welcome to your weekly General Aviation news update, and this week we have 4 stories for you; Pilot Institute Community, Max 9 flies again, Mark Baker steps down from AOPA, and Robotics Firm claims to have found Amelia Earhart's plane! First up this week is our release of our exclusive Pilot Institute Community, or PIC for short. https://community.pilotinstitute.com We created the Community as a place for all our students to interact and learn from each other. Here, you will be able to find answers to any aviation questions you have, organized more logically than Facebook. You will get answers from our Subject Matter experts, Guest Instructors, and experienced Pilot Institute graduates. You will also be able to connect with others who are studying at the same time, on the same topic. You can even do chat live with other students directly into the course. The best part is, it's free and available with your current course login, no need to create a new account. Head over to community.pilotinstitute.com to get started! We'll also have an exclusive live event today at 4PM, and every day next week for our community kickoff event! Next up is the 737 Max 9, which has been approved to return to service after required inspections. The approval comes nearly three weeks after a door plug was blown out of an Alaska Airlines Max 9 climbing through 16,000 feet. FAA Administrator Whitaker issued a statement saying “The January 5 Boeing 737 MAX incident must never happen again. Let me be clear: This won't be back to business as usual for Boeing. We will not agree to any request from Boeing for an expansion in production or approve additional production lines for the 737-9 MAX until we are satisfied that the quality control issues uncovered during this process are resolved.” Hopefully this is the last we hear from Boeing with maintenance issues! Next up this week is AOPA's Mark Baker, who will step down when a suitable replacement has been found. Baker says he will stay for up to two additional years to ensure a smooth transition and that he will continue to run AOPA as normal until the transition occurs. There's no word on where MZark Baker will go or if he will retire after he is done at AOPA. We'll keep you updated if we see more. Last up this week, a Robotics Firm out of South Carolina claims to have possibly found Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra. The company used side-scan sonar to search a 5200 square mile area in the pacific. The Sonar return was found in the area working off of a 14 year old theory that Earhart's Navigator, Fred Noonan, may have failed to take into account crossing the international date line in his navigation calculation. This would have put Earhart and Noonan 60 miles west of their intended destination. The company was not able to dive on the return, so the claim is just that for now. We'll have to see if anyone can get back to that location to dive on the possible wreck. Alright, that's it! Have a great week and we'll see you next week. https://community.pilotinstitute.com https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/mark-baker-stepping-down-as-aopa-president/ https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/robotics-firm-confident-amelia-earharts-plane-found/ https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/alaska-says-max-9-grounding-cost-150-million-expects-boeing-to-pay/

Como esse é o voo de número 7 da segunda temporada, o tema não poderia ser outro. Só que desta vez, o papo sobre o 777 envolve uma estrela pop. Quem acompanhou tudo de perto é o copiloto com “sol” e “ar” no sobrenome. Felipe Solari é fã do canal “Aviões e Músicas”. O apresentador e ex-VJ da MTV, divide com o Comandante Lito suas dúvidas sobre aviação, além de histórias curiosas como o medo mitológico de voar, o hábito de conversar com a bagagem, além de uma lembrança inusitada da infância: o fumódromo do Lockheed Electra. Na rota de notícias, a paralisação temporária da ITA, com escalas no primeiro voo direto entre Congonhas e Fernando de Noronha, a chegada da Boeing no metaverso e o primeiro avião elétrico executivo, fabricado pela Eviation Alice.

“It started with me seeing a photo of a plane in a Christmas catalogue and pointing to it. From that moment, that was what I wanted. As a child I would dream of flying, would beg my parents to go to the airport, watch planes take off and land. Around the age of 6, I flew in my first plane. It was all I ever wanted to do.” At the same time, Lepley, who was assigned male at birth, explains that “from my earliest recollection I knew I was a girl. Yet societal, family and religious expectations would not allow it. I didn’t even know what trans was. As a child of the 70s and 80s there was no Google, Internet, and so on. It was only through some research in the card catalogues of our library did I find a few stories on others like me. One was Christine Jorgensen. The other was Renée Richards.” As Lepley was coming to terms with her gender reality, her drive to become a pilot was unabated. Like many trans people, Lepley focussed on her professional career and achieved substantial success — in many ways, at the expense of her personal life — before transitioning to her gender identity. “When I was 15, my dad took me to the local community college in Traverse City, Michigan, which had an aviation program,” Lepley continues. “We met with the Administrator of that department and learned what I would need to do to prepare for my career. At the age of 16, I would begin ground school. In the mornings and early afternoon, I would attend high school. In the late afternoon? College.” “By the time I was 21, I had secured my first airline job as a flight engineer on a Lockheed Electra for an airline called Zantop, based in Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, MI. I was on top of the world, traveling to cities throughout the United States,” Lepley says. Today, Lepley, an MD-11 first officer for a cargo airline, is based in Anchorage and type-rated for the SA-227, B-757/767 and MD-11. In addition to her type ratings, she has flown the DC-9 and engineered on the L-188, DC-8 and B-747. Lepley flies the professionally challenging MD-11 aircraft for a cargo airline. Image: John Walton Looking back, Lepley notes that it was only as she achieved her professional goals and career success that the incongruity of living in the male gender became insurmountable. Gender identity is, of course, not a choice, and coming to the realisation that one is trans — and then making the decision to live an authentic life — is an often difficult journey. In aviation terms, Lepley describes knowing that she was female yet living in a male body as listening to the HF frequencies with constant static every hour of the day for more than thirty years. That courageous decision to confront the need to live as the same gender in one’s brain, particularly for those people who transition to living in a gender into which they were not born, often comes with consequences, however. Lepley’s transition cost her a marriage, her home, retirement, and friendships, as well as a church community, but the reaction from her employer and the aviation community was also a concern. “Weighing heavily on my mind was the career that I worked so hard to obtain. Would I lose that as well?” Lepley asked herself. “Aviation is very much a male dominated field, with less than 6% flying as women. I was very fearful of coming out. How would I be perceived? How would I be treated? Would I be accepted? These were just some of the multiple questions that I processed.” “Fortunately,” Lepley notes, “I had a role model of a woman who transitioned a few years prior to me. We met on a few occasions while overseas. She offered her help and assistance when it came to opening the door for my transition and instrumental in my success.” “When I finally sat down with my chief pilot, words just could not describe the anxiety I was feeling. Here I am about to tell another man: ‘I am a woman’. Fortunately, he was already briefed on what I was about to say and stopped me. He said, ‘Don’t worry about it…I am here for you.’” Lepley is a first officer on the MD-11 fleet. Image: Kelly Lepley “It was those words that I will never forget,” Lepley says. “In that moment, he showed me more Christ-like love than any of my peers at the church I once called home. This is all any of us want: to be treated with dignity, respect, and love.” Lepley’s continued faith in the context of her gender identity and transition is one of the most striking aspects of this remarkable woman. “I attend church in both Alaska and Kentucky when my schedule affords me the opportunity,” Lepley explains. “My faith is much deeper and much richer than before.” Noting that finding a church while overseas can be difficult at times, she has been able to worship in cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Sydney, Honolulu and Southern California. Yet many trans people not only find an unwelcoming atmosphere in places of faith, but in their workplaces as well. Lepley recommends finding a strong, motivating mentor to new pilots. Image: Kelly Lepley “When news did break of my transition, and rumors began to fly, I sat down and wrote out my story and posted it on our internal union website,” Lepley says. “I didn’t know what to expect. Knowing once I posted that story, there was no turning back. A new chapter in my life was about to begin. Like the demands I place on myself as an aviator, I would demand it of myself as a woman. Mediocrity was not an option.” “I had to earn the respect of my peers as a woman, and that was OK. From the way I wore my uniform, dressed after hours, to the way I walked, spoke, and carried myself, everything I did had to be done with the highest of my own expectations. These were my peers with whom I loved and they deserved my very best. Demanding respect is one thing, but in the end is not meaningful. Earning it creates something much deeper. That was what I wanted and that is what I received.” In her current first officer position, Lepley explains that she normally works a two week on, two week off schedule. The best part of her job, Lepley says, is meeting people from around the world. The downside, however is that “there is no regularity to my life. As much as I would love to participate in a weekly Bible Study, dance class, or social gathering, it just isn’t doable with my schedule.” That’s just one of the tradeoffs Lepley makes as part of her career, but she consciously does her bit to help others to make their work/life balance work more easily: “When I am not scheduled to be with my kids, I will bid lines over the holidays in order to give someone junior to me the opportunity to be home with their family.” “It’s a tough call!” Lepley says when asked which route is her favorite. “There is so much diversity throughout this world. I love flying over Japan seeing Mt. Fuji the glaciers in Alaska, the Tien Shan Mountain Range over eastern Kazakhstan and Western China, the Zagros Mountains in Eastern Iran… each place has its own unique beauty.” Of course, getting to the front seats can be an expensive investment for new pilots. “One of the greatest deterrent for taking up this career is cost,” Lepley notes. “When I speak to young people I tell them: do not discount the smaller colleges. When you look hard enough there are options. In my case, I could not afford a four year college to obtain my ratings. It was cost prohibitive. Fortunately, our local community college, Northwestern Michigan College had their own aviation school. For a fraction of what it would have cost me at a major name college, I was able to obtain all my ratings in conjunction with a two year degree.” “I used that foundation and experience to land a flight engineer slot with Zantop Airlines. Upon earning my wings as a flight engineer, I turned back to school focusing on my four year degree through Embry-Riddle’s Worldwide Program. By accumulating immeasurable flight experience, I was able to use my salary to obtain a four year degree. Although it took me over ten years to complete it, I overcame that obstacle and did it debt free.” Having adopted two precious girls from China, Lepley has a soft heart for orphans. When on layover in Taiwan, she visits a home for orphans, bringing snacks, and playing with the kids. In a big way, these children tug at my heart. Image: Kelly Lepley Lepley explains that she sought out mentors who matched and spurred on her own dedication. “There were two men in my flight school who pushed me hard. One was a retired Lieutenant Colonel and the other a long time instructor. Both of them took me under their wings. They pushed me hard. Anything less than precise was not good enough. That foundation they placed on me early in my career drives me today in what I do. I owe much of my career to them!” To find that kind of mentor, Lepley recommends, “Set your bar very high. Seek out an instructor who has those same expectations. Show them your desire and be persistent. They will take you under their wings and push you if you are willing to allow it.”    

What can we learn about Human Risk from industries, like aviation, where the consequences of errors are matters of life & death.That's a question my guest this time, Andrew Blackie, is more than qualified to answer. He's an independent Safety and Human Factors consultant at Abris Consulting Ltd (http://www.abris.co.uk/). Abris takes aviation safety investigation techniques and applies them to help build operational excellence in the wider safety critical community. Andrew was a Senior Inspector (Operations) at the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch conducting almost 50 major field investigations, numerous minor investigations and acting as the United Kingdom state representative on investigations conducted by foreign states.With 20 years of aviation experience, Andrew has commercially operated types as varied as the DC-3, the Lockheed Electra and the Citation II for a Formula 1 racing team. He joined the AAIB from DHL Air where he had been a Captain and CRMi on the Boeing 757.Andrew has a Masters degree in "Safety and Accident Investigation" and is accredited by the European Association for Aviation Psychology as a Human Factors Specialist.So super well qualified! In our discussion, we explore some fo the principles used in Aviation and how they can be applied in other scenarios. Plus, learn why recent incidents like this (https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/airport-hangar-foam-covered-discharge-los-angeles-lax-delta-a9427606.html) are far more severe than they might look.During our discussion, Andrew referenced a research paper by Clewley & Nixon which you'll find here: https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/1826/14680/Understanding_pilot_response_to_flight_safety-2019.pdf?sequence=4You can follow Andrew on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BlackieAndrew.

"As years go on, it’s not just the flight but it’s about a woman, it’s about encouraging people to be in aviation. It’s about the era." Perhaps no other institution on the planet is more recognizable than the Smithsonian. The air and space museum on Washington DC houses some of the most iconic aviation exhibits on the planet. And the museum staff are some of the most knowledgeable experts that can be found. One of the most well-known exhibits there is Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Vega. The plane that she set the transatlantic record in, now stands proudly in the “Barron Hilton Pioneers of Flight” Gallery. Could it be possible that one day Amelia’s Lockheed Electra; the holy grail of aviation may find its way into the same gallery? Tonight, season two continues with the 72nd episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast. We’re joined by project guests Dorothy Cochrane & Tom Crouch of Air & Space to discuss the ongoing role that the Smithsonian plays in the investigation of the disappearance, Amelia Earhart’s impact and legacy and why they believe that Amelia Earhart stood for much more than flying “for the fun of it”.

What really happened to Amelia Earhart? Since Earhart and her navigator disappeared during their around-the-world flight attempt in 1937, the world has searched in vain for an answer to this question. The culmination of thirteen years of research into this tantalizing mystery, The Earhart Enigma: Retracing Amelia's Last Flight brings to life Earhart's final days in an attempt to reconstruct what exactly took place. Offering candid assessments of prevailing theories about Earhart's fate, author Dave Horner marshals evidence from a variety of sources, proving that Earhart was neither lost at sea nor wrecked on Nikumaroro. Integrating information garnered from numerous interviews, Pacific Islander folklore, and US and Japanese military documents, Horner argues instead that Earhart ventured north of her intended destination in search of a place to land her Lockheed Electra. Blending drama, mystery and shocking revelations with the steady balance of an objective investigator, Horner's findings provide a definitive answer to this fascinating riddle. ​Tonight, season two of the Chasing Earhart podcast kicks off with our 51st episode; Dave calls in to discuss his book "The Earhart Enigma" the legacy of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan and why he believes that the "Earhart Enigma" has captured the imagination of the world for 81 years.

Many hypothetical explanations of the disappearance and demise of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan and the Lockheed Electra aircraft with which she hoped to circumnavigate the globe have been proposed. This is another, very similar to some others, but different in that it answers one important question; how did the radio broadcasts from the Phoenix Islands originate without more evidence of the Electra crash on the islands of the region? How could the fliers and aircraft completely disappear? On episode twenty-nine of the podcast, we sit down with radar expert and project guest Tom Maxwell to discuss Amelia and Fred’s world flight, what he believes happened on the morning of July 2nd and whether or not Orona island has been hiding the holy grail of aviation for the past 80 years.

Andrew McKenna was the Dive Team leader on the Niku IX expedition. He has been a TIGHAR member since 1990 and currently serves on the organization’s Board of Directors. The son of famous paleontologist Malcolm McKenna, Andrew’s archaeological eye was trained from childhood helping his father on fossil hunts in the Gobi Desert and other remote locations. Andrew participated in underwater and onshore archaeological operations on four previous TIGHAR expeditions to Nikumaroro (2001, 2007, 2010, & 2015) and was on the TIGHAR team that surveyed the Maid of Harlech in Wales in 2007.

Imagine that you get your dream job out of college, and later as part of that job, your employer wants you to solve a riddle that will take years or never to complete.  For Tom Vinson, NY0V, that dream job for a ham was with the Collins Radio Company, later Rockwell Collins, and the riddle was to find the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra aircraft somewhere in the South Pacific.  He could use the technology and human resources of the company to solve this riddle.  Tom recounts this story with Eric, 4Z1UG, in this QSO Today.
