S3 Ep19: Howland Island Landing: A Conversation with Dana Timmer

Over 15 years ago now, I sat down to make a list of dream participants for what would become the Chasing Earhart project. I came up with a list of 25 names and on that list was a man who’s been associated with the search for Amelia Earhart since the first deep ocean expedition for her took place in 1999. In fact, he’s the man who led that search almost 25 years ago. In that time, every search that's included the pacific ocean near Howland, has come calling - requesting consultation on their efforts in the potential discovery of the holy grail of aviation. He’s a pilot, navigator, sailor and adventurer. And he’s a giant in the story of the search for two missing aviators, lost to history. Welcome back to Chasing Earhart. From Mission Bay San Diego, this is Dana Timmer.LINKS Our Website  Vanished on Twitter  Vanished on Instagram  Vanished on TikTok Vanished on Facebook  Vanished Facebook Discussion Group Chasing Earhart on Facebook  Chasing Earhart on Twitter  Vanished Facebook Group SHOW NOTES & FURTHER READING This man is asking for $2 million on Kickstarter to Find Amelia Earhart’s Plane @ The Verge An Exploration Team Believes They Found Amelia Earhart’s Missing Plane.
