A North Texas woman is reliving her accomplishment of flying around the world in 1967. Her name is Ann Pellegreno. She and her team completed the flight that Amelia Earhart could not just 30 years prior.
Her name is Ann Pellegreno. She and her team completed the flight that Amelia Earhart could not just 30 years prior.
Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while trying to become the first pilot to circle the globe at the equator. No trace of her or her navigator has ever been found."When you’re up high, you don’t see all the damage to the Earth," she said. "You see the natural rivers and the lakes and the mountains and stuff, and it’s beautiful. Everybody should fly around the world if they could.
In 1967, she was 30 years old. Pellegreno had less than 1,000 hours of flying experience, but she accepted her mechanic’s challenge from years earlier to trace Earhart’s flight path in the same type of plane that her mechanic owned. There was plenty of time to think of Earhart. Pellegreno believes Earhart’s spirit was with her during her trip.
