AMELIA RON BASS September 14, 200711 EXT. BAR, LAE, NEW GUINEA - DAY CLOSE on a mud-streaked AIRFIELD in mist and driving Lockheed ELECTRA sits. Sleek, twin-engine, state-of-the-art, its metallic surface battered by the monsoon. Waiting. PULL BACK to ..our VIEW down onto the landing strip is from an open-sided, thatched roof BAR high above the airfield. And peering down through the mist and WOMAN in grimy flight clothes gazes at the plane. Slender. Feminine. At first glance, fragile. Then the gray eyes change like the sea, as a stray thought transforms her. Something fierce lives there. SUPERIMPOSE: LAE, NEW GUINEA - 1937. FRED ( ) Sure I can't talk you inta somethin' more adventurous? She turns. FRED NOONAN is tall and lean, ruggedly handsome in a reckless way.

But Amelia stands still, throws her arms WIDE, and the plane.....DROPS lower, and LOWER, as it CLOSES straight in on the slender girl with her outstretched arms. LOUDER and FASTER, as if intent on winning some impulsive duel of wills. The aircraft SCREAMS past, just above her head.
