Has Amelia Earhart's plane been found?

A photo taken by the Ikonos 2 spy satellite shows signs of what might be Amelia Earharts plane, missing since 1937.

Any updates re TIGHAR's progress about this expedition ?  (Still some weeks away, of course, to it's proposed start date).

Must surely be some other groups looking at the same site, for, maybe, other possibilities ?  

Anything mentioned ?

I haven't heard any thing else about it. Like you said, it's still a few weeks until they reach the island, so maybe we'll know more then.

If I find out more about this I will post a message here.

I'm going to revive this old thread because it's looking more and more likely that they've found the small atoll where Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan spent their final days.

I always kind of believed that they went down in the ocean. It's amazing to me that she might have actually landed the plane on that tiny island and lived for some amount of time afterwards.
