Namesake and distant relative of legendary women icon Amelia Mary Earhart, is planning to fly around the world in 14-days, next summer.
Earhart, 39, mysteriously disappeared over the South Pacific in 1937, but her legacy still inspires women and men to soar past boundaries.
Amelia Rose Earhart, who is a distant relative of the legendary aviatrix, said that the 28,000-mile flight around the world is one of the true flying adventures which would pose a great challenge, the New York daily reported.
The 30-year-old and her co-pilot Patrick Carter will be flying the Pilatus PC-12 NG around the world in 14 days, making only 14 stops.
The proposed adventure begins and ends in Oakland, California.
