On the 2nd of June, 1937, Amelia Earhart began her journey around the world – the one that would end somewhere over the Pacific.  On June 26, 2014, Amelia Rose Earhart began her journey around the world to recreate that famous flight.  However, this Amelia completed that journey successfully, touching down after 19 days in Oakland, California.

Piloting a Pilatus PC-12NG, Amelia and her co-pilot Shane Jordan circumnavigated the globe, visiting 14 countries along the way and sealing her fate as the youngest woman to circle the globe in a single-engine aircraft.

Almost a year ago, I was present for Amelia’s announcement of the flight at Oshkosh 2013.  Since then, I’ve followed along like so many others on Twitter and other social media.  Now that Amelia is back, I was given the chance to talk to her and ask her about her amazing journey.
