Amelia Earhart was a castaway?

If the TIGHAR group can find human remains that are a DNA match to Amelia's family members, we'll know where she ended up. Personally I think her fate is described in the first few lines of TeaSea's post above. I don't think it serves any useful purpose to argue over her flying skills (or lack of same), over 70 years after she went missing.

A most erudite observation.....
 
The National Geographic Channel ran a 2006 special this weekend on an expedition that was looking for the plane around an island (one of the possibilities). If I remember this one correctly, they were basing it on the assumption that she ran out of gas and was able to make it out of the ditching and onto the island.

They also found some artifacts (heel from a woman's shoe) on the island but nothing definite. Conditions on the island weren't good, so the odds of survival for a long period of time were not good.

There have also been a number of reports that she and her navigator were captured by the Japanese, among some other instances of sightings.

It's a big ocean.....
