I too am a lurker here. I proudly have a certificate showing that I contributed to Niku VII. I will also be contributing to Niku VIII. It isn't much compared to the cost of the expeditions. But at least I help as I can. ;) I have been lurking here for years and have enjoyed every moment. Thanks to Ric and all for their work and for letting people like me share in your adventures.
I actually came here while following aircraft recovery stories. But, when I read of the work done here on Amelia Earhart, I was totally hooked. The wife and I say thanks.

Okay, I guess it's about time to put my money where my interest lies, and join up...Done!

I don't know what there is to tell you all about me, except that I'm a retired laser physicist, congenital skeptic, filthy-fingernailed homesteader, and wannabe great-grandfather.

Oh, yeah...and I like a good mystery, which is what sucked me into this..

Cheers,

Steve

Hello, I am guessing I am doing this right, I have a hard time with all things threaded. I nothing about aviation other than I don't like to fly on jets, but I love a mystery in real life. I just recently found this site and have been reading pages of stuff about AE and her failed trip. I will do my best not to sound to ignorant although until reading about the most recent joiner of the site I had never heard of a laser physicist, I am just a machine mechanic. If I have posted this incorrectly I apologize in advance.

Hey there everyone !

My name is Martin Peters, i have just joined this Forum but followed TIGHARs work loosely for a couple of years already.
I am a medical doctor, live in good ole Germany and in all technical aspects a layman but anyway an airplane aficionado .

I ll still sifting through the forums concerning and trying to grasp whats there. Hope i can sometimes give some helpful input (or ask some dumb questions). Maybe  i can now and then add a medical perspective, well, anyway I hope i can add to your effort !

Martin

Hi all

Like many others I am a 'long time lurker'. Not a pilot, not an engineer, not anything technical. Used to be a mountaineer, now an international school teacher. Familiar (as much as I can) with the ins and outs of the issue, what really got my goat just the other day and got me off my backside to join was an incredibly ignorant (I'm being polite) article by a so called skeptic debunking the TIGHAR theory.

Hats off to ya.

Hello!

I am a very, VERY long time lurker on this forum. I have followed TIGHARs work since I was 9 years old but I am a yellow bellied coward when it comes to finally jumping in to post.  Taking the leap now so go easy on me. 

I have followed the Niku expeditions very closely over the years and Im only hopping on now to express how excited I am for the next expedition and saddened that TIGHAR is having difficulty raising the last of the funds to get there. I have donated what I can and shared the link to the funding website with every pilot and aviation enthusiast I know.... Im a flight dispatcher who has worked for 3 different airlines so I hope that my colleagues will help to spread the word. 

Apologize for haunting the boards so long without chiming in. While I have plenty of skills when it comes to commercial aviation, I dont know what, if anything, I can contribute to TIGHAR other that I type fast and can spend extended periods of time at the computer without my leg falling asleep.  I worshipped Earhart when I was a little girl....drove my parents absolutely crazy with trips to the library.  She inspired a love of aviation that has stayed with me all of my life.  Maybe I can be a cheerleader or something?

September 9th will be my 32nd birthday.  Cant think of a more wonderful present than opening a newspaper and reading that her mystery has finally been solved. 

Ok, you may now commence with the hazing. I object to anything that involves crabs or feathers though. Cheers!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself.  I just joined TIGHAR at the researcher level, but I've been following TIGHAR's efforts since the first expedition.   Speaking solely for myself, the preponderance of the evidence that has been amassed  has  convinced me that Niku is where AE and FN landed. 

As for myself, there isn't a lot that I bring to the table, at least relative to most of the members.  There are a lot of impressive resumes out there.   I am in the process of restoring two PA 22 150 Tri-Pacers and have been a licensed pilot since January of 1979. I have just under 27 years of experience in insurance investigations.  I'm looking for ways to help bring the investigation to a conclusion.

Looking forward to working with all of you!

Kindest regards,
