An Asheville climate scientist is preparing for an expedition to the remote islands of the central Pacific where he’ll study the environment - and work to help solve one of history’s most famous aviation mysteries – the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.
Earhart, first woman to pilot a plane across the Atlantic Ocean, mysteriously disappeared while flying over the Pacific in 1937.
Climatologist and Engineer DeWayne Cecil is joining a dedicated group of aviation researchers, who for nearly three decades, have been exploring a theory that Earhart may have landed on one of the islands. WCQS’s Helen Chickering has the story.
