She chose to fly with Fred Noonan who was a very talented navigator, with the experience both in the air and in the sea. Her first trial failed and she was doing nicely on her second try. Amelia and Noonan had 8,000 kilometers left, where they were supposed to get guidance from a ship which would let them land on a small island in the Pacific Ocean called Howland Island. Unfortunately, they could not understand the signals from the ship and they were running low on gas. The end of this story is unknown and there are lots of versions to the tragedy. **
