Default Amelia Rose Earhart and Bose on APC Ad

Ug!

That girl is like herpes........she just keeps popping' up. Saw her on the Bose ad on the APC site stating "why I fly." I flew around Denver when she was there. She was the joke of APA (Centennial Airport). She had a sweet job with the local NBC station which she left and returned to twice. Always seeking more fame and attention, not finding it and slinking home to Denver. She came back with a Boob job one time.

At one point she was going to be given a Cirrus and they were going to name an edition after her. They sent a Cirrus rep down to APA to fly with her for months; they rescinded the offer after lots of instruction. That much I know to be true, the scuttlebutt is that it was because she couldn't fly for crapola.

First she claimed she was going to fly around the world in a Cirrus. Then she changed to it a Pilatus and took along a babysitter. I know she claims she is trying to help future women pilots, but I don't see a lot of news or evidence of this.

She has a wonderful platform to help push for more women in the sky. I am sure she is doing that to some point, but mostly we just see pics of her looking like a Playboy Bunny with big hair, a push up Bra, stiletto pumps and mini skirts leaning against air stair doors or cowlings; flaunting her looks, over sexualizing her image. I am a thin, relatively attractive female and nothing is wrong with looking good, but no one flies in heals and giant hair. She helps NO women lookin' like a sky skank. I hate to be B!tchy about this, but I care about getting more minorities into aviation and folks like her seem to do more harm than good.

Rant over. You kids get the hell of my lawn!

Hilarious post!

If a boob job and a millionaire sugar daddy are the keys to aviation "success," then we should all follow that path! ;-)

She may think she's a great "spokesmodel" for aviation, but apparently there ain't much wood underneath the veneer. Too bad.

Show Biz / Entertainment Industry wannabe...aviation is just her shtick. No need to take her too seriously, I think the vast majority of aviation professionals would know that she's not representative of the females in this industry.

Some aviation historians have suggested that the original Amelia was not a very skilled pilot, but was hyped by her husband's media empire.

I've heard that too, but at least SHE didn't wear high heels and big hair!

Says who? She might have been a stiletto girl! Less photo ops back in the day. Her Electra may have been weighed down with all her shoes!

You have to admit she looks rather silly (the new Amelia)

Not to the guys, OR very impressionable young females.
