This is a dream in the making. Our team, in late 2021, managed to locate the last Lockheed Electra 10A in the United States. (We do NOT have a contract with the aircraft's owner and are an independent organization!) This aircraft is currently the only one not in a museum and we are on a mission to get it restored and made airworthy. We chose to make this our first project as a way to share our dream with the world.​

We are working on an educational program that will be used in connection with the Electra. Our program will include the following:

• Teach students/public about the Lockheed Electra and its place in history.

  • This includes its effect on air travel, the airline/aviation industry, and the 1930s (also known as "the golden age of aviation"​

• Discuss changes in aircraft/aviation over the last 90 years.

• Amelia Earhart

  • Earhart's connection with the Electra ​

    • she used a highly modified 10E on her ill-fated world flight attempt)​

  • Present photos so students can compare Earhart's Electra to that of a typical passenger configuration.

  • Explain what modifications took place to prepare Amelia's Electra for the grueling flight ahead.

  • How Earhart's fame/legacy has overshadowed the commercial history/success of the Lockheed Electra as an airliner.

  • Help spread Amelia's message

    • You don't have to live the life society expects you to live​

    • Through hard work and determination, you can achieve your dreams

Visitors will be allowed to climb inside the Electra and even sit in the cockpit.
