A group of aviation specialists say they may be closer than ever to solving the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance, nearly nine decades after she vanished. Earhart, along with her navigator Fred Noonan, went missing in July 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Their loss prompted what was then the largest air and sea search in American history.

 

A modern exploration team believes it has significantly narrowed the potential crash site. Researchers restored a radio identical to the one carried on Earhart’s final flight and used it to reassess past signals and transmissions. This work, they argue, sheds new light on where the Lockheed Electra might have gone down over the Pacific.

Dave Jourdan, head of the deep-sea survey company Nauticos, described the breakthrough as a major step in solving one of aviation’s most enduring puzzles. If correct, the findings could finally provide long-sought answers about what became of Earhart and Noonan.

Can they replicate the propagation conditions?

This is about the 6th different "definitive answer" that I've seen over years of so called documentaries.

 

In this case, I think they're severely over-interpreting radio data.  (Not unlike what's been happening to MH370).  I'm not saying they're wrong.  Even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut.  One day, I expect someone will stumble across the wreckage.

 

Perhaps the Japanese hold the key to this mystery ?
