Warbird Information Exchange

Looks like it's time for TIGHAR's annual summer vacation:

My apologies, did I say vacation? What I really meant to say was "expedition."

And this is Warbird related how?

Must be time to replenish the bank accounts!

So, who is the generous benefactor this time?

mr. billings is also presently on expedition, a far more sensible earhart endeavor. this message WILL self-destruct.

Quite.
Remember, the group still calls itself "historic aircraft recovery"...yet after about 30 years has never recovered an aircraft.

Years ago I believe they figured out there was more money in looking for a celebrity (whose fate will likely can never be 100% determined) by keeping the public interested by annually stating "We're so close, we can't give up now".

No one. That is why they are using dogs instead of Subs

I think they are too late.
History Channel has already solved it and they're showing all the proof next week!; Amelia Earhart the Lost Evidence

Release the Hounds! And I hope they can swim!

If, seeing that this is the History channel, then might we conclude that Amelia was abducted by ancient astronauts?

Or maybe she and all her stuff are living in an old barn somewhere in Iowa. If so, Mike and Frank will eventually find her and offer her half what the stuff's worth (gotta leave some meat on the back end, dontcha know).
