Although I haven't done anything myself, I was under the impression that something was available.
Let me look..........
On Flightsim, there is this package for FSX, but I don't think it contains a flightplan.
FSX - FSX Early Aircraft
FSX Earhart's Electra L-10 E
Name: l10eae.zip

FSX Earhart's Electra L-10 E. A repaint of FS-Design Berlin's Lockheed Electra L-10 modified for Flight Simulator X. Painted as Amelia Earhart's Electra L10 E in what turned out to be the final flight of Earhart's career, and, ultimately, her life, It began on June 1, 1937. Earhart and Noonan left for their round-the-world flight in her twin-engine, red-winged Electra. From Miami, they flew to San Juan. Right before taking off on this leg of the flight, Earhart was quoted as saying, "I have a feeling there is just about one more good flight left in my system and I hope this trip is it. Package includes pictures and history of the aircraft. Textures and updates by Mark Rooks of RSDG Aircraft.
Also this package for FS2004. again, no flightplan.
FS2004 (ACOF) - FS2004 Early Aircraft
FS2004 Amelia Earhart's L10E Electra
Name: l10eae01.zip
Size: 10,364,050

FS2004 Amelia Earhart's L10E Electra. This aircraft is a customization, upgrade and optimization of Arik Hohmeyer's L10E from FS-Design Berlin. The intent was to match it as closely as possible to Earhart's L10E Lockheed Electra. Dave Bitzer's research at the Smithsonian Institute and independent work by Alex Nicolson resulted in over two-dozen flight-dynamics changes, including proper-capacity long range tanks. Norman Hancock designed two custom panels for this historic aircraft; a classic version with a Sperry AP and a modern one with a digital AP and more navigation equipment. The Cambridge Engine Analyzer, Sextant, Drift Meter, and pop-up E6-B computer are standard on both panels. Easy one-step install. By Dave Bitzer, Norman Hancock, J.L. Stubbs and Charles Wood.

Search Charles Wood at FlightSimCom. There you will find the aircraft and flight plans for Earhart's flight.

You're the best, Robert.  Thanks for directing us to those files - I've downloaded not only the Erhart files but also what looks like a nice Piper Tripacer. Cheers! Bruce |

I started this last night.
Robert Woods' package is very comprehensive - supported by great documentation - offering three flight variations, each of which follows the route taken by Amelia.
An excellent look at an historical aviation adventure that had, sadly, an abrupt ending.
I can recommend this to anyone interested in Amelia Earhart.

Found a "flight" on AvSim (AEWFV01.ZIP): did an "earhart" search of fs9 flights and got the flight, a bio, a map of the route, a timeline....
Hope this isn't what everyone else is talking about - if it is, disregard all preceding!!!

Not sure where my thread went,,,lol
By the way, anyone seen the movie? I hear they made it into a love story and forgot the real reasons and real story. I have read alot of books and seen several docs on this lady and there was little love story in her life.

Sorry, Teisco.....I went off at a complete tangent!  No - I haven't seen the movie but it doesn't surprise me that it would have been mangled. Bruce |
