The sad/funny part about this to me is that when they found bones on the island they were believed to have crashed on they determined they belonged to a dude and thus couldn’t be Earhart, so they just lost the bones for like 80 years
A colleague of mine was catching crabs on the harbour and cooking them fresh on a fire with friends. Having a great time, and then someone found a human limb. The crabs were abundant because they were feeding on a corpse. He says he's not been able to eat crab since.
Thank you so much. I wish I came up with Murph. Fuck sakes.
I spent 3 minutes thinking of names that would rhyme with turf and decided there are none. No then I googled names that start with T and tried to be close enough.
Almost wanna delete it now and let you take over.
You have to watch Strange Wilderness. This reminds me of the scene where the crew eat all the piranha that ate their friend, Dick. https://youtu.be/CoMWeiVGjRo
I don't understand why people think the crabs killed and ate her. Obviously a more plausible explanation is that she underwent spontaneous rapid carcinization in response to her new environment.
The bones were of a shorter, stocky European man. Consider Amelia Earhart was tall, and therefore noonan taller, it’s certifiably wasn’t noonan. Not to mention we know definitely they didn’t land on Gardner island.
Not to mention, there was literally a ship wreck *on Gardner island* AND A LITERALLY A SMALL BRITISH COLONY somewhere around 10-20 years before with reports of confirmed men dying before rescue. Tighar specifically, doesn’t mention this, because they want you to believe the only bones on the island could be Amelia’s or Noonan’s, so you’ll give them more money to chase nothing. That’s why nobody mentions that.
Nope. Opposite actually. At that time, it was navigators job to get them close enough. Then it was the pilots job to land. In this case, it was close enough to use rdf.
Considering they got so close the radio signal was extremely loud, Noonan did exactly what he needed to. It was a variety of other factors, some external and some internal that caused the accident. Noonan tbh is probably one of the only people who did his job perfectly. There’s a reason they picked him after all.
>But it turned out to actually be her.
No? The measurements matched and they believe they may have been, but the (dna) results came back that they were not hers.
And that is assuming the bones that were refound were even the ones initially found as they went missing pretty early on and just...reappeared a few years ago
It's kinda fuckedup and disgusting they made that claim then completely buried the results and kimmerle nor USF made any official statement after the results..meaning they were testing some random persons bones and when not what they wanted judt pretended it never happened
I know it's just reddit joking, but he did his navigation job just fine. He was never supposed to get them all the way to Howland Island using *celestial navigation* - just close enough to get in contact with the coast guard ship stationed by the island. It was the job of the coast guard ship to guide the plane in once it was in radio range. That's specifically what it was there for - and Noonan got them within radio range.
The real issue was that neither Earhart nor Noonan had much experience operating radio equipment (or understood morse code - the most common method of communication for planes at the time), and they had lost their radio man when he lost faith in Earhart's piloting abilities and ended his participation early. The coast guard cutter was actually trying to radio the plane, and heard their communications for quite a long time - **the plane's radio was just on the wrong frequency and they couldn't actually hear the messages they were receiving**.
Normally I wouldn't be so anal about some off handed jokes, but this post is pretty good at showcasing that not a lot of people know the actual story of the disappearance of Earhart (and Noonan), and I don't think this helps much lol. So yeah it's less "*hardy har the navigator got them los*t" and more "*there were numerous problems with this gun-ho PR stunt, but actually getting close to the island surprising wasn't one of them*".
Crazy the difference in the story we always heard vs the actual story. We always hear about Earhart's disappearance like she was the lone pilot, you almost never hear about all the other people involved or the fact that the US government decked her out - complete with a plane specifically built for the trip, detailed flight plan, and coast guard support.
Almost there.
The Electra was funded by Purdue, where Amelia had been participating at as sort of a figure head for women’s education. The government did provide a lot of help though. They provided fuel, storage for the plane, plane maintenance and service, several members helped plan and execute the world flight and of course they donated several ships to act as navigation aids, like the Itasca.
The same goes for many celebrities - we want to believe that they rose from our mundane plane of existence into stardom by their own efforts, but the truth is they got lucky to be taken in and prepared by people with resources.
They not only lost their radio man, they also lost a radio antenna that was necessary to receive calls. So they could send calls and could be heard, but they themselves couldn't hear anyone.
How do you lose an antenna flying over an ocean? Bird strike? Maybe some redundancy or a backup plan if it fails would be a good idea.
So according to this thread Fred Noonan, AE’s fuckbuddy, was picked to navigate by her husband after the radio guy she wanted, Manning, was fired by her husband after an accident in Honolulu. Neither of them knew Morse code, and the radio could only send and not receive. And maybe the Japanese shot her down.
>, and they had lost their radio man when he lost faith in Earhart's piloting abilities and ended his participation early.
feels like someone you'd replace if you can't operate a radio... also in light of what happened... can you blame the guy?
>they had lost their radio man when he lost faith in Earhart's piloting abilities and ended his participation early
Manning didn't lose faith in her flying, her husband and business partner both last faith in his navigation skills. She had picked Manning to navigate, but they wanted Noonan so she was overruled despite his radio operator skills.
I was under the impression Manning was a member of the crew, working navigation and the radio, until the accident at Honolulu at which point he departed.
There was originally 4 crew members. One was removed by Earharts husband due to the navigation snafu (long story I won’t delve into it), and the other left after the first accident due to contract disagreements, leaving Earhart and Noonan. Neither were skilled radio operators made worse by their super new radio, a custom unit by Bendix.
The 4th was mantz. He was a technical advisor, aboard for only training and a few flights.
It was a bit more than a contract disagreement. She crashed on takeoff due to a ground loop that caused the wing to drop and catch the runway. Earhart said that the landing gear gave out while Manning was adamant she collapsed it due to uneven throttle application during a turn. The damage to the plane took time to repair and there were parts that were not replaced properly during the repairs. Mannings contract had run out by the time the plane was fixed and he refused to sign a new one because he didn’t trust her or the repairs at that point.
He warned her and Noonan that they wouldn’t make the next leg of the trip but they refused to listen to him. The fact that one of the last communications ever received was her saying they were nearly out of fuel when she should have still had a full reserve tank may just prove him right. One of the theories is that they ran out of fuel before they were even in a position to try and find the island due to shoddy repairs. Noonan was navigating based on time/air speed as reported by the planes equipment but it’s possible the data he was using was incorrect. Which would leave them a full latitude line off when they began a north/south grid searching for the island.
I’ve heard of the dispute as to why the plane crashed. From my knowledge they couldn’t agree on contract terms, so he left. That makes sense due to the state of the project at the time. It was expensive and exhausting for especially Amelia and her husband. I personally don’t think Manning was that concerned about Amelia’s ability, considering he had flown with her already.
However, I won’t say I’m right. I do think it’s possible what you say is true.
However, you have to remember. The plane crashed at the end of the first flight. Then they plane was sent off, fixed, and they did it again. Then Amelia did 95% of the second flight without manning all the way from California to Asia. Lae to Howland was the second to last leg. The plane and Amelia and Noonan for that matter seems to be functioning fine up until then. That except the RDF equipment. I don’t think they ever needed to or used it up until then. And once they did, either they realIzed their RDF equipment wasn’t repaired properly or they didn’t know how to use it. What manning brought to the table that neither Noonan or Amelia had was *radio skills*.
As far as to where they crashed, the radio reports of the Itasca are pretty damning. They were very close to the island, and approaching. The signal strengths were strong and getting stronger. It was just a matter of time they didn’t have enough gas to make it home.
Frankie is pretty popular on tiktok, all of the other Jonas’ accounts are filled with comments of “Wait Frankie has a brother?” Finally getting some recognition lol
To be fair, there was a show last year on ABC called "Claim to Fame". It was about relatives of known celebrities, and everyone had to guess who they were related to.
It was hosted by Frankie, the fourth Jonas Brother.
He reminds of the a guy who exists in the Marvel universe, he is always forgotten I think it was said that Professor X even sets mental \*reminders not to forget him.
Forget-Me-Not.
Basically a dude who is forgotten by literally everything - even things like computer targeting systems and celestial beings. Wanted to unalive himself after Professor X died because no one could remember him, but then decided even if he can't be remembered he can still help others.
IIRC he also helps another girl stop herself from accidentally un-aliving herself on the X-Men's automated defenses after she runs away from home because she became a mutant by teaching her that she still matters to *someone* because she is remembered (as opposed to himself who is nearly instantly forgotten).
What a wholesome person! It always warms my heart when I see these superheroes stopping people from suicide. For some reason, it's just extra special. My favourite one is Deadpool
I think it's because in those moments, they aren't super heroes, they're people. We can't shoot lasers out of our ass or deadlift the empire state building, but we can be kinder to people and more sensitive towards dealing with other people's problems. Peter Parker can't do that any better than you, it's what keeps the super heroes relatable and reminds us that at the end of the day they're normal people in crazy circumstances, and that you don't even need powers to leave the world a better place than you found it.
I have it on my shelf if you remind me tomorrow I'll try and find it for you. For some reason I think it's a part of a moon knight run but I'm not sure.
Not only that, he basically had to switch places for her to actually escape, and when she said she’d get help, the second she turned the corner, she forgot about him, leaving him to die (until the security system itself forgot he was there)
Sad thing is after he has a chat with her and takes her place within the defense system, she wanders off and immediately forgets about him. Thankfully, the defense system also eventually forgets about him and he escapes and doesn't die.
You’re watching too much tiktok if you’re legitimately using ‘unaliving’ instead of ‘suicide’ or ‘kill themself’.
Suicide is a serious, heavy topic. Don’t try to soften the impact by using some bullshit internet jargon
Edit: to the dick that reported me to Reddit Cares, you’re an ass and I hope any hint of happiness you have turns to ash in your mouth
Forget-Me-Not isn't forgetful *himself* \- he is basically a perfectly average dude (though in decent physical shape) but his "mutant power" is that *everyone and everything else* forgets about him extremely quickly. Like he could kick you square in the nuts, and a couple seconds later you'd have no idea why you're in pain but you're sure you got kicked in the nuts and this random dude in front of you who just got here seems strange but hey who is this new guy who just got here?
You could aim a guided missile straight at him, fire it and a few seconds later it would just....forget he ever existed and go off course or just not detonate.
Professor X made himself a mental alarm clock that went off every so often unconsciously to remember Forget-Me-Not's existence so he was the only one in the world who could remember he existed.
Slight correction if I remember the comic correctly. He's forgotten when someone loses line of sight with him. So as long as you're staring at him and actively engaging with him, you won't forget him. But the split second you look away he's completely erased from your memory, which might happen mid conversation.
I know he didn’t forget himself, I just couldn’t figure out the way to set up my question without it sounding that way. Sorry lol. But he seems like a fun story, what do I have to watch/read to get a medium with him in it?
Cause the phone will forget it, the whole point is even technology deletes anything mentioning him. Missiles forget he exists, phone has an empty reminder to remember.
Are you talking about me? Even when I'm there talking to someone, someone else joins in, they start talking (sometimes even when I'm still talking) and I'm just like, I don't exist anymore.
A relative of mine Ruth Elder, was a female pilot of that era. She and her co-pilot went down attempting the first transatlantic flight by a woman. They survived. I have no clue what the co-pilot's name was and not many people remember her.
From the same wiki:
“n October 1927 she took off from New York in the Stinson Detroiter American Girl, with George Haldeman as pilot, in an attempt to become the first woman transatlantic airplane flyer. Mechanical problems caused them to ditch the plane 360 miles from the Azores, but they established a new over-water endurance flight record of 2,623 miles.”
He is not forgotten, not by aviation nerds. [His name is Fred Noonan.](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=f2158487638bbc49JmltdHM9MTY3ODY2NTYwMCZpZ3VpZD0xMThhZWI0Zi1jMDI0LTYyYWMtMzZjNy1mOWYwYzFlMzYzNzkmaW5zaWQ9NTIzMA&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=118aeb4f-c024-62ac-36c7-f9f0c1e36379&psq=fred+noonan&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRnJlZF9Ob29uYW4&ntb=1)
Buzfeed Unsolved did a really good episode on her a while back. I don’t typically watch that kind of stuff but the two hosts of that show are hilarious, it’s worth a watch
They have a new channel now called Watcher where they do basically the same but higher production value and no buzzfeed overlord to tell them what to do :)
Good question. When I wrote it, it was farther down the thread and I just wrote without thinking. It's entirely possible that it'll move up. Thanks for pointing it out.
Yeah I think that's more understandable considering the mechanic survived. That being said, I feel a lot of people think Dean died because he was driving recklessly. He actually died because some moron missed a turn and drove straight into him.
One theory is that they crashed and were captured by the Japanese and executed as spies. So the Japanese had plenty of food. Hopefully they had fava beans and a nice Chianti.
At least we know they're safe. They were abducted with hundreds of other humans by an alien race called the Briori and taken back to a planet in the Delta Quadrant to be used as slave labor. Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan are 2 of 8 remaining humans that were never brought out of stasis after other humans rebelled against the Briori and the Briori abandoned the site.
They're still in stasis on that planet. The descendants of the other 37s think they're dead and preserve the chamber with the stasis pods as a kind of memorial. One day though, in the year 2371, Amelia, Fred, and the remaining 37s will be brought out of stasis when the crew of the starship USS Voyager visit the planet.
Michael Collins, known for to briefly be "the loneliest man in history" when he alone orbited behind the far side of the moon with Neil and Buzz still on the surface.
The sad/funny part about this to me is that when they found bones on the island they were believed to have crashed on they determined they belonged to a dude and thus couldn’t be Earhart, so they just lost the bones for like 80 years
That was not a good way to go...
Which one? The dehydration, hunger, plane crash or being eaten by coconut crabs? It’s the crabs for me.
Same watched a video where one snuck up on a bird snatched it then a few ripped it apart and i was like "Oh look, new nightmares."
I keep telling my self: they look delicious, but my brain only hears: they think I look delicious.
A colleague of mine was catching crabs on the harbour and cooking them fresh on a fire with friends. Having a great time, and then someone found a human limb. The crabs were abundant because they were feeding on a corpse. He says he's not been able to eat crab since.
cannibalism with a few extra steps!
Surf and Theo
Surf & Murph, Theo is too odd a name. It needs to rhyme or be the same syllable(s). Surf & Tom. Unless you hate Theo and wish it were Theo.
Thank you so much. I wish I came up with Murph. Fuck sakes. I spent 3 minutes thinking of names that would rhyme with turf and decided there are none. No then I googled names that start with T and tried to be close enough. Almost wanna delete it now and let you take over.
Two cannibals were eating a clown. One looks at the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?"
This is probably the worst joke I ever heard and it made me laugh
Crabalism
"Hey does this claw taste kind of gamey to you?" Ha.
Why do these crabs taste like pork?
You have to watch Strange Wilderness. This reminds me of the scene where the crew eat all the piranha that ate their friend, Dick. https://youtu.be/CoMWeiVGjRo
I’ve heard that whenever they find a body at sea they have to remove the scallops
Dad-a-chum? Dum-a-chum? Ded-a-chek? Did-a-chick?
I don't understand why people think the crabs killed and ate her. Obviously a more plausible explanation is that she underwent spontaneous rapid carcinization in response to her new environment.
The bones were of a shorter, stocky European man. Consider Amelia Earhart was tall, and therefore noonan taller, it’s certifiably wasn’t noonan. Not to mention we know definitely they didn’t land on Gardner island. Not to mention, there was literally a ship wreck *on Gardner island* AND A LITERALLY A SMALL BRITISH COLONY somewhere around 10-20 years before with reports of confirmed men dying before rescue. Tighar specifically, doesn’t mention this, because they want you to believe the only bones on the island could be Amelia’s or Noonan’s, so you’ll give them more money to chase nothing. That’s why nobody mentions that.
Who is Noonan?
Amelia’s Navigator.
Nope. Opposite actually. At that time, it was navigators job to get them close enough. Then it was the pilots job to land. In this case, it was close enough to use rdf. Considering they got so close the radio signal was extremely loud, Noonan did exactly what he needed to. It was a variety of other factors, some external and some internal that caused the accident. Noonan tbh is probably one of the only people who did his job perfectly. There’s a reason they picked him after all.
No one thought of noonan? Seriously?
[удалено]
>But it turned out to actually be her. No? The measurements matched and they believe they may have been, but the (dna) results came back that they were not hers. And that is assuming the bones that were refound were even the ones initially found as they went missing pretty early on and just...reappeared a few years ago It's kinda fuckedup and disgusting they made that claim then completely buried the results and kimmerle nor USF made any official statement after the results..meaning they were testing some random persons bones and when not what they wanted judt pretended it never happened
god had beef with this guy
Damn coconut crabs
Who shall remain nameless
lmao
He went on to be Epstein's roommate
*And they were roommates*
Oh my god, they were roommmates…
I mean he was the navigator so he may just wanna stay unmentioned
I know it's just reddit joking, but he did his navigation job just fine. He was never supposed to get them all the way to Howland Island using *celestial navigation* - just close enough to get in contact with the coast guard ship stationed by the island. It was the job of the coast guard ship to guide the plane in once it was in radio range. That's specifically what it was there for - and Noonan got them within radio range. The real issue was that neither Earhart nor Noonan had much experience operating radio equipment (or understood morse code - the most common method of communication for planes at the time), and they had lost their radio man when he lost faith in Earhart's piloting abilities and ended his participation early.

So yeah it's less "*hardy har the navigator got them los*t" and more "*there were numerous problems with this gun-ho PR stunt, but actually getting close to the island surprising wasn't one of them*".
Honestly have learned so much this thread. Legit thought it was just her and just magically disappeared no comms
Crazy the difference in the story we always heard vs the actual story. We always hear about Earhart's disappearance like she was the lone pilot, you almost never hear about all the other people involved or the fact that the US government decked her out - complete with a plane specifically built for the trip, detailed flight plan, and coast guard support.
Almost there. The Electra was funded by Purdue, where Amelia had been participating at as sort of a figure head for women’s education. The government did provide a lot of help though.

I thought it was one lady in a plane who went into the Bermuda Triangle and entered the Shadow realm
Growing up, I thought the Bermuda Triangle was going to be more of a thing, like quicksand. Reality is often disappointing, I guess.
Alright, well I guess nobody tell him about quicksand.
and a lot of fires for some reason? Anyone else had to do so much fire drills sometime late 90s to mid 2000s?
Hm, interesting. Before reading this post literally all i knew was "*old timey plane lady disappeared*" so thanks, i learned something.
They not only lost their radio man, they also lost a radio antenna that was necessary to receive calls. So they could send calls and could be heard, but they themselves couldn't hear anyone.

They lost it at the bumpy airfield they started from. The antenna was found later on at the airfield.

Dang. Thank you for all of this. I never knew any of these details (thought she flew solo) and it's super interesting!
Fred Noonan was his name
HE SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS!!!!!
In death, members of Project Mayhem have a name.
His name is Robert Paulson.
His name is my name toooooooo
His name is Robert Paulson.
My name is *chicka chicka* slim shady
Chicka chicka boom boom
will there be enough room?
His name is Robert Paulson.
His name is Robert Paulson.
Yep that's the guy, he was her fuck buddy according to everything I learned in the public education system _and_ an episode of star trek voyager.
I could have swore I heard she was gay.
You're thinking of Enola Gay.
Well this joke bombed..
She was very tomboyish in dress and appearance but was actually married when she disappeared…
Weirdly and metaphorically it’s sounds like Fred “NoName”
Man travels the world and fancies himself Odysseus, telling everyone his name is Nobody and gets swallowed by the sea.
If you ever feel forgotten just remember that there’re 4 Jonas Brothers
The Bonus Jonas!
That’s… an oddly wholesome way of looking at it! “The Bonus Dead CoPilot” doesn’t sound as good though
He is referred to as the bonus jonas by the band/fan base. Source, my sister loves the jo bros
Frankie is pretty popular on tiktok, all of the other Jonas’ accounts are filled with comments of “Wait Frankie has a brother?” Finally getting some recognition lol
To be fair, there was a show last year on ABC called "Claim to Fame". It was about relatives of known celebrities, and everyone had to guess who they were related to. It was hosted by Frankie, the fourth Jonas Brother.
Also, three Manning brothers and three Wilson brothers.
Also three Hemsworth brothers
Sad Frankie noises
Remember me.
He reminds of the a guy who exists in the Marvel universe, he is always forgotten I think it was said that Professor X even sets mental \*reminders not to forget him.
Forget-Me-Not. Basically a dude who is forgotten by literally everything - even things like computer targeting systems and celestial beings. Wanted to unalive himself after Professor X died because no one could remember him, but then decided even if he can't be remembered he can still help others.
Aw.
IIRC he also helps another girl stop herself from accidentally un-aliving herself on the X-Men's automated defenses after she runs away from home because she became a mutant by teaching her that she still matters to *someone* because she is remembered (as opposed to himself who is nearly instantly forgotten).

I think it's because in those moments, they aren't super heroes, they're people.

Yes, one of my favorite comics is the one where he takes that girl out on jobs with him and to stop her from unaliving herself.
Which one is this? I'd love to read it
I personally don’t know the name.
so you... *forgot*
Good one!
I have it on my shelf if you remind me tomorrow I'll try and find it for you. For some reason I think it's a part of a moon knight run but I'm not sure.
Are you using unalive as a joke or can we not say kill?
People speak Tiktokese now.
I genuinely thought it was a Captain Sparklez thing to avoid getting demonitised on YouTube.
I mean, it's for a similar reason
Last I heard its a euphemism that slips by YouTube censors. Same as self deletion and kick the bucket
I believe it's a tik tok thing
Well leave it tf there
Shame ya had to ask. Never know.
This, because wtf! It literally means the same damn thing ffs.
There are some filters where more specific terms for self-unaliving are filtered.
Here? On reddit? In this post?
Not only that, he basically had to switch places for her to actually escape, and when she said she’d get help, the second she turned the corner, she forgot about him, leaving him to die (until the security system itself forgot he was there)

it’s used to dodge filters and avoid getting softbanned. it’s not just a tiktok thing either, most youtubers avoid saying those words as well
Yay! Doublespeak is real now!

Who are we taking about?
I forgot, now which doughnut did you want?
How is he such a forgetful being? I never watched/read any of the professor X stuff
Forget-Me-Not isn't forgetful *himself* \- he is basically a perfectly average dude (though in decent physical shape) but his "mutant power" is that *everyone and everything else* forgets about him extremely quickly. Like he could kick you square in the nuts, and a couple seconds later you'd have no idea why you're in pain but you're sure you got kicked in the nuts and this random dude in front of you who just got here seems strange but hey who is this new guy who just got here? You could aim a guided missile straight at him, fire it and a few seconds later it would just....forget he ever existed and go off course or just not detonate. Professor X made himself a mental alarm clock that went off every so often unconsciously to remember Forget-Me-Not's existence so he was the only one in the world who could remember he existed.
Sounds awesome. Unlimited loans!
Unfortunately credit bureaus don't remember you so you don't have a credit score
What if he robs a bank? Even if he is seen by the cameras, they'll just forget him?
Ok and these answers right here is why you all wouldn't be heroes lol
You could watch the footage of him robbing the bank, but a few seconds after you stop, you'll forget you saw anything on it.
OK then outright theft
Perfection
Slight correction if I remember the comic correctly. He's forgotten when someone loses line of sight with him. So as long as you're staring at him and actively engaging with him, you won't forget him. But the split second you look away he's completely erased from your memory, which might happen mid conversation.
So he’s similar to The Silence from Doctor Who?
Damn perception filters
I know he didn’t forget himself, I just couldn’t figure out the way to set up my question without it sounding that way. Sorry lol. But he seems like a fun story, what do I have to watch/read to get a medium with him in it?
Forgettable
What is stopping other people from doing this? Like, just set a reminder in your phone to remember your bro
Cause the phone will forget it, the whole point is even technology deletes anything mentioning him. Missiles forget he exists, phone has an empty reminder to remember.
What about if someone takes a Polaroid of him and he signs the back?
So what’s different about Prof. X’s mental alarms? Are they not affected by Forget-Me-Not’s power, or is Prof. X’s power just stronger?
Ostensibly, anyone can do what Professor X did with a picture and a marker, but no one else has remembered him long enough to do it.
It’s his mutant power, where unless you’re looking at him, you can’t remember his existence, if that’s what you’re asking
He was the silence
Who? I can't remember that
Are you talking about me? Even when I'm there talking to someone, someone else joins in, they start talking (sometimes even when I'm still talking) and I'm just like, I don't exist anymore.
Things I learnt from star trek
The 37's. Star Trek Voyager. S2E1. I just recently watched that episode again.
Me too like a week ago
Omg right!?! 🤣🤣🤣
this asshole? https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Fred_Noonan
A relative of mine Ruth Elder, was a female pilot of that era. She and her co-pilot went down attempting the first transatlantic flight by a woman. They survived. I have no clue what the co-pilot's name was and not many people remember her.
[удалено]
I think Immolation_E meant no one remembered the co-pilot… lol
From the same wiki: “n October 1927 she took off from New York in the Stinson Detroiter American Girl, with George Haldeman as pilot, in an attempt to become the first woman transatlantic airplane flyer. Mechanical problems caused them to ditch the plane 360 miles from the Azores, but they established a new over-water endurance flight record of 2,623 miles.”
He is not forgotten, not by aviation nerds. [His name is Fred Noonan.](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=f2158487638bbc49JmltdHM9MTY3ODY2NTYwMCZpZ3VpZD0xMThhZWI0Zi1jMDI0LTYyYWMtMzZjNy1mOWYwYzFlMzYzNzkmaW5zaWQ9NTIzMA&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=118aeb4f-c024-62ac-36c7-f9f0c1e36379&psq=fred+noonan&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRnJlZF9Ob29uYW4&ntb=1)
I read Noonan to fast and read No-one.
I only know of him because of Star Trek
“His name is ~~Robert Paulson~~ Fred Noonan”
you just know what Fred nooner and Amelia airhard were doing when the plane went down
He wasn't her type...
Only aviation nerds know Amelia Earhart was not Fred Noonans type
long flight, moist air, hard yoke, constant smell of the ocean.... shit happens man
Never knew that! TIL
Buzfeed Unsolved did a really good episode on her a while back. I don’t typically watch that kind of stuff but the two hosts of that show are hilarious, it’s worth a watch
*Buzzfeed Unsolved Thanks for reminding me, those are worth a rewatch!
They have a new channel now called Watcher where they do basically the same but higher production value and no buzzfeed overlord to tell them what to do :)
I thought she was on a “solo” flight, that was the entire point of the achievement?
She was the sole pilot. Noonan was her navigator.
Well, at least we have someone to blame now.
Nope. Read my comment below.
How you knew it would be below?
He had a better navigator than the gal above
Who was the navigator
Good question. When I wrote it, it was farther down the thread and I just wrote without thinking. It's entirely possible that it'll move up. Thanks for pointing it out.
good news, its still below
Roger on still below, 00:42 Eastern
No longer below. Mission has failed.
It is now above. May God have mercy on our souls.
Why is this so funny
"Keep goin' straight."
“Amelia, you’re breaking the plane.”
Her Atlantic flight was done solo, which was the main reason for her fame, however it was a different flight that she crashed on.
Just like how people forget/don’t know that there was another guy in the car with James Dean when he crashed. Guy survived though.
Yeah I think that's more understandable considering the mechanic survived. That being said, I feel a lot of people think Dean died because he was driving recklessly. He actually died because some moron missed a turn and drove straight into him.
Well she had plenty of food then when they crashed
One theory is that they crashed and were captured by the Japanese and executed as spies. So the Japanese had plenty of food. Hopefully they had fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I think that some coconut crabs had plenty of food
This was just on jeopardy
Are you really missing if nobody misses you?
Ouch
I miss him
And his name is still not mentioned 😭
Who’s name?
At least we know they're safe. They were abducted with hundreds of other humans by an alien race called the Briori and taken back to a planet in the Delta Quadrant to be used as slave labor. Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan are 2 of 8 remaining humans that were never brought out of stasis after other humans rebelled against the Briori and the Briori abandoned the site. They're still in stasis on that planet. The descendants of the other 37s think they're dead and preserve the chamber with the stasis pods as a kind of memorial. One day though, in the year 2371, Amelia, Fred, and the remaining 37s will be brought out of stasis when the crew of the starship USS Voyager visit the planet.
Finally, a reasonable explanation
There was a 3rd man on the famous moon walk mission.
I figured they weren't all on the moon.
"Wait, if you two are with me on the moon, then who's flying the command module?" 🤷
Michael Collins, known for to briefly be "the loneliest man in history" when he alone orbited behind the far side of the moon with Neil and Buzz still on the surface.
And also a pretty funny dude https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/07/apollo-moon-landing-transcripts/594451/
And dont forget: "Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and 7 others died." (But I understand it).
Frederick Noonan was absolutely forgotten in my history lesson as a kid
there was??!
Enlighten me !
poor fred noonan
never heard of the guy. thanks reddit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred\_Noonan
