Amelia Earhart flew a Lockheed Electra on her final flight.
Linda Finch bought the same plane and in 1997 recreated Earhart's voyage across the Pacific.
Finch talked to New Day Northwest about what it was like to follow Amelia Earhart's footsteps and how she is working to get more women and girls interested in aviation careers.
