Question: From which Florida city did Amelia Earhart take off when she made her second attempt at being the first woman pilot to fly around the world?
Answer: Miami
When Amelia Earhart attempted to be the first woman pilot to fly around the world in 1937, she launched her fateful trip from the Miami Municipal Airport in Opa-locka. This was her second attempt at flying around the world. She landed at the wrong airport in Miami, in what was then known as the 36th Street Airport (now part of Miami International) rather than the bigger Miami Municipal Airport just south of Opa-locka. Her landing on May 24, 1937 was rough and she stayed in Miami for a week while the plane underwent repairs.
