WHAT’S INSIDE THE AMELIA EARHART Storage MUSEUM?
Inside the Amelia Earhart Museum, you can see the world’s last leftover Lockheed Electra 10-E, a twin motor, which is the same make and model that Earhart, an Atchison native, was flying in 1937 when she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared. The airplane was gained for just two cents more than $1.2 million of every 2016 by the Atchison Amelia Earhart Foundation.
