Amelia Earhart's ties to Brownsville's rich aviation history were cemented in 1929, when she greeted Charles Lindbergh after his historic flight from Mexico City. In Brownsville, she earned her commercial pilot's license, becoming only the fourth American woman to do so. Our city played a significant role in shaping her illustrious career. Join us in wishing Amelia Earhart a Happy 127th Birthday! We will have cake, activities, and more to honor Amelia’s legacy.
