The legacy of Amelia Earhart lives in the Kansas town where she was born

In 1937, Earhart, a pioneering aviator whose accomplishments included being the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic, and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the South Pacific while attempting to circumnavigate the globe.

The festival next month will feature the scientists of Deep Sea Vision, a South Carolina marine robotics company, who may have located the aircraft Earhart was piloting, a twin-engine Lockheed Electra, 16,400 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island, her and Noonan's destination after departing Lae, New Guinea, on July 2, 1937.

Confirmation or refutation of the find is likely years away; the suspected wreckage is roughly 4,000 feet deeper than the remains of the Titanic.
