You know what sucks? Sinus infections.
You know what’s even worse? Battling chronic sinus infections while pursuing a dream to become the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
But if anyone could do it, it’s our girl Amelia Earhart.
This week, Lucy takes us through the story of Earhart, her record-breaking career and the 83-year-old mystery experts are still puzzling over.
So, make sure your tray table is stowed and your seatbelt is buckled up.
We’re in for some turbulence.
