Amelia named many of her aircraft. The first was 'Canary' , a bright yellow Kinner Airster in which she made many flights. Her most well known plane was a red Lockheed Vega 5, which she called "the little red bus". This was the same type of aircraft flown by the famous Wiley Post ( who had flown it around the world ) . Amelia's final aircraft was the Lockheed Electra 10E which she called 'the Flying Laboratory'. This was actually owned by Purdue University for whom Amelia worked at that time.
