May 22 - Amelia Leaves Tucson, Lands In New Orleans
In her own words: "The next morning at Tucson a dense sandstorm blocked our way. But despite it we took off, leap-frogging at 8,000 feet over El Paso with a seemingly solid mass of sand billowing below us like a turbulent yellow sea. That night we reached New Orleans ...." The four stayed in the hotel at the Shushan Airport, constructed on a man-made peninsula in Lake Pontchartrain. When the airport opened in 1934 its opening ceremonies hosted the Pan-American Air Races which, ironically, banned women from participating.
