Amelia Earhart Monument

At the Diamond Head roadside lookout, there stands a monument noting Amelia Earhart's first solo flight from Hawai‘i to the US mainland. A few days ago, a young bearing the same name, completed an around-the-world flight in a single engine aircraft. Amelia Rose Earhart piloted a Pilatus PC-12 on journey that began and ended in Denver, Colorado. During her overnight stop in Honolulu, Ms. Earhart even stayed at the same hotel, The Royal Hawaiian, as her namesake did in the 1930s.
