Amelia Earhart, KUSA

KUSA traffic reporter Amelia Rose Earhart will trace the journey of her namesake, circumnavigating the globe in a Pilatus PC-12 NG single-engine aircraft. Departure from Oakland, California is scheduled for June 2014.
Earhart has taken to the skies in honor of her namesake before (http://www.denverpost.com/television/ci_19683824). This time it’s in partnership with Pilatus and Jeppesen.
She talked up the trip on NBC’s “Today” on Friday.
Per the release:
In partnership with Denver’s Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Amelia and co-pilot, Patrick Carter, will fly more than 100 hours and make 14 stops on their journey. This flight plan follows a 2012 transcontinental flight, also tracing one of Amelia Earhart’s noteworthy voyages from Oakland, California, to Miami.
