Adam Savage Inspects Amelia Earhart's Record-Breaking Aircraft!

NOTE: At the time of filming, there was a mask mandate in effect at Smithsonian Institution. In the early 1930s Amelia Earhart flew this Lockheed Vega 5B alone across the Atlantic Ocean, then flew it nonstop across the United States: both firsts for a woman! Nelson Blankenship, Preservation & Restoration Unit Chief at the National Air and Space Museum, takes Adam through the history of this record-breaking aircraft, as well as the work his team is doing to prepare it for display at Smithsonian.
