How does this string get into the AE dicussion?

The Forum and TIGHAR are broader than just AE. Notice that this particular post is within the General Discussion area of the Historic Aircraft Recovery and Preservation topic of the Forum.
Yes, exactly. "TIGHAR" stands for "The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery." It says that on the logo at the top of the Forum (I checked this time; I think I got all the words right!). The folks in San Diego are recovering a historic aircraft. It's relevant to this part of the TIGHAR Forum.
The "Amelia Earhart Search Forum" (lineal descendant of several AESF ancestors) has five discussion boards inside of it: General Discussion, Join the Search, Celestial Choir, Aircraft and Powerplant, and Artifact Analysis.
