Have you actually read any of the relevant material? And I don't mean here on pprune, I mean all the other available material from David's website, from the Tighar folks, and the myriad other sources.
If not, why not do so before making such adamantly certain proclamations as to where Earhart and Noonan did or did not end their flight? If you have read much of the available material, tell us why you believe the Electra is, "crashed in the sea, probably somewhere to the Nor'ard of Howland".
Then, let's have a good old fashioned, friends sitting in the bar, debate about WTF happened way back then.
