The historic Project Earhart flight ends

After a two month commemorative flight taking in 20 countries, pilot
Brian Lloyd WB6RQN was to finally reach Texas, where it all began.

Piloting a single engine plane called ‘Spirit’ he received praise at
tracing a similar route taken 80 years ago by the famed aviator Amelia
Earhart.

Earlier a problem with the plane’s fuel flow system caused a turn back to
New Zealand. A faulty magneto and poor weather further added to the
pilot’s worries.

WB6RQN aeronautical mobile made hundreds of QSOs.

He landed at Oakland California on Monday July 31, then Cameron Park
also in California, flying to the Amelia Earhart Museum at Atchison
Kansas, and ending the epic flight at Kestrel Airpark Texas - the
pilot’s home airfield.
