Contemporary aviatrix Amelia Rose Earhart stopped at EBACE 2014 this week, one month before she takes off from Oakland, California on The Amelia Project, attempting an aerial circumnavigation of the earth that her namesake never completed. Unlike her namesake, she will be flying a modern Pilatus PC-12 NG single-engine turboprop equipped with a Honeywell Apex glass cockpit and satellite communications by Inmarsat and Satcom1 that will enable her to stream the entire flight to followers around the globe. “The capability we have in this aircraft is incredible,” Earhart said while standing in front of a PC-12 NG at the Pilatus static display here at EBACE yesterday.
