Will I be assigned a Tighar researcher number?

Yes. You'll even receive a cheap-ass card board membership card.  We'd really like to do fancy plastic cards like the EAA but the machines cost a thousand bucks.
 
Perhaps I already have been and am not aware of it.

All will be revealed.

  Also, I presume I will now receive the 2015 Tighar Tracks, which I would prefer in PDF.

Bless you.  Send me an email at ric@tighar.org and I'll send you the link to the PDF.

I'll be glad to assist in anyway that may be useful to Tighar, although I have no aviation background.

No problem.  Sometimes an aviation background seems to be a detriment.

I am not really interested in the ultimate fate of miss Earhart. I simply do not care about her fate. She is dead, so let her be dead in peace respectfully. But I often find many errors about the islands discussed regarding her. Therefor I suggest https://www.scribd.com/doc/294530963/The-Nantucket-Connection.
I do not like the modern tendency/fact that people are so gullible and eager to believe wikipedia stories. My essay shows that even writers of old can be mistaken...i.e..: are mistaken quite often.

My name is Douglas and I am from Toronto, Canada. I have always been interested in mysteries like the Earhart disappearance and am impressed with the work that Tighar has done.

I would like to help out if I can, in the way of networking, potential fund raising and social media.

Amelia's Toronto connection is kind of special as it was here where she really first got the flying bug.

Hello ,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Tom Snider and I have had a lifelong interest in Amelia Earhart. I have joined TIGHAR and want to be involved as much as possible.
 My experience that may be of value other than my passion is that I have extensive metal detecting experience dating back to over 25 years ago from local colonial sites to battlefields. The amazing clues and history that can be uncovered are endless. I look forward to all interaction and wish to be involved with an expedition.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Thank you
Tom Snider

Hello, my name is ‘Tree’ and I am looking forward to learning more about her fate.
I crewed on Mira Nair’s movie AMELIA doing camera work , mostly the scenes of the Vega landing in Ireland and the Fokker floatplane in Newfoundland and Wales. ( all were shot here in Nova Scotia ).

In 1976 the Electra 10E # 1042 was in Zephyrhills , I was lucky to make ten skydives from it with a helmet camera. ( The reason people here post that it was gutted is because most jump planes were stripped before our big boots put dents in the airframe , that was often standard procedure at the large drop zones. )

Lately I am helping to restore a 1950s RCN Beech 18 Expeditor at our Shearwater naval museum. ( It was also abused as a jump ship . . .  lots of dents to smooth out lol ). Work there as a volunteer machinist / trying to fix more than I break.  Some days we even succeed

Hi to everyone, and thanks to Ric for activating my registration; that had me baffled for a while.
  I have a background in both science and aviation: my first career was in molecular biology, but these days I am an airline pilot, and I still fly light aircraft for fun. 
  I am a long time lurker on this site, and a great admirer of everything TIGHAR has done to solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance. I have been a very junior member for a few years now, but have never felt the need to contribute to the Amelia forums in person.  However, with the Glen Miller search the latest hot topic I thought I should stick my oar in.

 Looking forward to further developments.

Cheers


Sean
