Question: Where in Texas did Amelia Earhart earn her commercial pilot’s license?

Answer: Brownsville. In 1929, she greeted Charles Lindbergh on the tarmac of the city’s airport after he completed the first international airmail flight from Mexico City. She earned her commercial pilot’s license the following year. In April 2024, a bronze statue of Earhart was unveiled at the city’s Dean Porter Park.
