Feb 09, 2005

The program will cover recent experiments conducted to refine the radio signal analysis used to predict where Amelia Earhart's plane went down in the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island in 1937. A search area has been defined and 60-percent of it searched with deep ocean sonar in 2002. A return expedition to complete the search is planned for the spring of 2005.
