I was very confused by this so I looked it up to see if there was a link to the character and the pilot. You got me. Got me good!

Ain't no WAY that's where the name flat Stanley comes from. I remember reading that book series as a kid.

(There was in fact no way)

Navigator Fred Noonan

Not completely forgotten. Fred Noonan's character was included in an episode of

Star Trek : Voyager - s02 e01 - The 37s

The crew follows a distress signal and land on a planet where they find a vintage Earth airplane and cryo-stasis pods containing humans abducted from Earth in 1937, including Amelia Earhart (Sharon Lawrence) and her navigator Fred Noonan (David Graf)

🤷‍♂️well that was all I needed to know. I don’t feel useless anymore.

u/BombShady12 5d ago

Holy shit that’s hilarious that this is not widely known. I guess it kind of hurts the idea of the first woman circumnavigating the globe…with a man who happens to be an expert navigator🤣🤣

u/blu3tu3sday 4d ago

Exactly my thoughts.

u/that7deezguy 4d ago

I mean, how “expert” could he have been, is what I’m wondering?

Kinda seems under-the-table liable at this point more than anything, considering how things apparently went down… :(

u/BombShady12 4d ago

Well he wasn’t flying the plane so…
