A discussion of the better things in life, including music, the arts, wine, beer, cigars, scotch, gambling the Quatloosian way, travel, sports, and many other topics. [Political and religious discussions and the like should stay off-site.]
As the world grapples with the baffling disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370, perhaps the most famous missing plane mystery in history will soon get a second chance – and this time, with a happy ending. That is, if 30-year-old pilot Amelia R. Earhart has anything to say about it.
You read that right: Amelia Rose Earhart was named after the famed aviator who vanished on her first attempt at a female-piloted flight around the world in 1937 – and it just so happens that she shares the same passion for flying.
In June, she will attempt to recreate her namesake’s ill-fated flight around the world, a journey that will take two weeks, 100 hours and cover more than 24,000 nautical miles. Earhart will embark from Oakland, Calif. and traverse the globe on the adventure of a lifetime, and one that has been a long time coming.

Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption
Pardon your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way, the shepherd of fire
I dunno why the media is acting like this is so surprising, an Air France flight that disappeared over the (much smaller and more densely traversed South Atlantic) was not found for more than 2 years. It happens. When a very small (in the scope of things) plane crashes into a very large body of water, it doesn't leave a lot to look for.
