Nature Callsby Jack Bacot

Editor In Chief Drylands represent an estimated 35 percent of the land area in the United States. This includes deserts, scrublands, savannas, and woodlands. It is important to understand how these drylands will be affected by climate change because they are a critical funtion to the ecosystem (and the many goods and services that they provide) covering a large part of the United States. The rise of global average temperatures, or climate change, is a global phenomenon. Regardless of anyone’s political affiliations, rising global temperatures and the subsequent impacts on communities and ecosystems are universally recognized as a serious issue requiring urgent attention. Obviously, we need to work together to preserve these lands and the environment by working to reduce the warming effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and thus reduce the severity of climate change. This old planet provides us with much joy, as witnessed by the beautiful landscapes of Moab. So the idea is realtively simple; be good caretakers of this Earth and preserve its environment for future generations.

It covers nearly 400,000 acres and has been sitting undisturbed for thousands of years. The area in and around Moab, Utah is a national park smorgasborg. Desert canyons, rock formations and crisscrossing rivers make up a stunning landscape. Photographer Patrick Cox makes annual trips to Moab and comes away each year with striking visuals of the area. (see Wilderness Journey, page 94). His photographs are dazzling images that document the desert, rock formations, vegetation, and more. But change is happening and the tricky part is how do we protect the area and its beauty so that it continues to inspire artists while functioning as an integral part of the ecosystem?

never think that names don’tmatter. They do.

If you’re a boy and your last name is Mantle and your parents name you Mickey, it’s a safe bet you’ll be fielding questions about baseball for the dura-tion of your life.

And if you’re a girl and your last name is Earhart and your parents name you Amelia, you most likely won’t be able to avoid the subject of flying for very long.

Such was the destiny of Amelia Rose Earhart. Born in Downey, California,

“I decided to find the technology and the resources to make this a com-pletely transparent, engaged flight on a daily if not hourly basis,” Earhart says. “We had the technology on board that allowed us to engage with social media while we were in flight. We were able to send out messages the entire time, and the social media fol-lowing grew in an amazing way. We were getting Tweeted and re-Tweeted and quoted on Facebook throughout the day. We heard from people whose kids would run downstairs first thing in the morning and say, ‘We have to get online! Where’s Amelia?’ That, for me, was the best part. When you can chart every moment of an adventure like that, it makes people want to have their own adventures.”

Earhart’s foundation, the aptly named Fly with Amelia Founda-tion, grants flight-training scholar-ships to young women ages sixteen to eighteen and fosters aviation and aerospace opportunities for people of all ages through an aviation-based educational curriculum.

“We found ten girls before the flight,” Earhart says, “and were able to award ten flight-training scholar-ships via Twitter right as we crossed over Howland Is-land,” the location of Amelia Mary’s next scheduled stop after Papua New Guinea in 1937—and the one she never made. “That was really, re-ally special for me. Only 4 percent of pilots are women. That’s pathetic, but it’s beginning to change. Now approximately 12 percent of the people currently in flight training are women.”

Earhart, who had no previous busi-ness experience to speak of (she had been a weather and traffic co-anchor for the NBC affiliate in Denver), sat down with a big sheet of paper and started writing down all the issues and challenges associated with a flight

around the world. Then she began checking them off, and when she was finished she had a business plan.

Not exactly how they might have drawn it up at a top-shelf business school, perhaps, but it worked. She went to Pilatus first. “I looked at the reliability of different single-engine aircraft, and I knew I wanted to step up from a piston engine to a turbine,” Earhart says. “The PC-12 NG is incred-ibly reliable. It has a full-glass cockpit, synthetic vision, dual GPS, VHF ra-dios, and a high-frequency radio that was about an eighty-thousand-dollar add-on that allowed us to communi-cate over our oceanic legs.”

“We had an extra two-hundred-gallon fuel tank on board that boosted our range to twenty-five hundred nautical miles,” she says. “That was a big risk for Pilatus to take because in the history of the PC-12 it had never been modified for additional fuel. The plane performed perfectly and

On July 11, 2014, Earhart became the youngest woman ever

to circumnavigate the globe in a single-engine aircraft.

the trip went pretty much flawlessly, but not because of chance or good luck. We meticulously planned every last detail. The only real variables were maintenance issues and weather. Those were the only two things we couldn’t control. We could control ground handling, security, pre-paying for fuel in all fourteen countries, get-ting overflight permits, making sure we had connections and availability in every single place we stopped. My team did a great job of that.”

In addition to Pilatus, corporate sponsors of Earhart’s flight include Honeywell, Jeppesen, Dallas Airmo-tive, Signature Flight Support, Pratt & Whitney, Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, Lockton, and Global Aerospace.

Needless to say, the all-star lineup of sponsors Earhart recruited played

a significant role in the success of the global flight. “The Lockheed Electra that Amelia flew in 1937 was a twin-engine aircraft and had state-of-the-art technol-ogy for her time, but she was using Morse code and celestial naviga-tion!” Earhart notes. “There’s a great quote from Amelia where she said that the rea-

son she was making these flights was so that the women of tomor-row would fly tomorrow’s air-craft. We really wanted to honor her and carry her legacy back to the States, and that’s what I feel like we did.”

in 1983, Amelia is—of course—named after Amelia Mary Earhart, she of the fateful round-the-world flight that never ended.

Amelia Rose’s parents wanted her to have a good role model as she grew up. Their plan, such as it was, worked. Amelia Rose (the two are not related) is funny, smart, gorgeous, and—wait for it—a pretty darn good pilot.

She took her first flying lesson on June 2, 2004, and was smitten with the sky. But smitten or not, you’d have to be a combination of passionate, driven, audacious, and talented—check, check, check, and check—to contem-plate completing the most famous in-complete feat in the history of aviation.

Mission: accomplished. On July 11, 2014, Earhart and copilot Shane Jordan touched down in Oakland, California, and Earhart became the

youngest woman ever to circum-navigate the globe in a single-engine aircraft. The two logged 108.6 flight hours on a trip that covered 24,300 nautical miles and included seventeen stops in fourteen countries. Eighty percent of the trip was over water.

Earhart and Jordan took off from Oakland two weeks earlier, on Thurs-day, June 26, at 8:19 a.m. The previous night her plane, a Pilatus PC-12 NG single-engine turboprop, stayed in the very same hangar occupied by the first Amelia’s Lockheed Model 10 Electra seventy-seven years and twenty-five days earlier.

One of the many things that Amelia Rose took advantage of that Amelia Mary lacked—besides the obvious things like GPS, radar, killer comms, satellite technology, etc.—was social media.
