Wiley Post and most of the testers were known as “monkey in a can” rather than courageous beyond the spectrum of normal understanding.

Personally, I would rather find the plane and remains of Lt. Robert Hanson, who as a pilot did a lot more for this country. But that’s me.

Earhart’s gone and nothing will change that.

What a waste of money and resources. Why not use these same resources for good? Move on!
