    Did Amelia Earhart emergency land or land regularly at the end of her historic trip?

    Question #114379. Asked by naveen_213. (Apr 27 10 11:27 PM)

    		She made quite a few historic trips, but if you are referring to the first female solo Atlantic crossing she "Somewhat off-course, landed in an open field near Londonderry in northern Ireland".

    The fact that she was off-course doesn't necessarilly mean it would have been an emergancy landing, given that in the early days of aviation any flat space was deemed a good landing space.

    		She was uncertain of her whereabouts when she landed at 1:45pm local time on 21st May 1932 in a field (farm) near Donegal, outside Londonderry in Ireland. It was not a "regular landing".

    		I wonder can I claim to be the only person on Funtrivia to have a picture of the tranatlatic plane on his or her office wall?
    (My office is just across te River Foyle from the spot she landed)
