Amelia Earhart is an American airline transport pilot. With the support of the Amelia Foundation she has undertaken a 17-day world tour on board her Pilatus PC-12 single engine airplane to commemorate the 1937 achievements of Amelia Mary Earhat, one of the female pioneers in civil aviation and Amelia’s ancestor.

This daring undertaking is, according to her, a Celebration of the Aviation Woman and more specially a great opportunity to support young women interested in aviation. Indeed, during her stay in Dakar, she is expected to meet under – 20 young girls to grant them scholarships on the basis of their school performance.
