now still july 2nd where holland island is. they started hearing her at 2:45 a.m.timated time of arrival about 6:30 a.m. so, the facts of her flight put her within a 50 to 100 miles of holland island when the time came, when they decided they really were not hearing from her and didn't know where she was. but as she got closer and closer her radio signals got stronger. the u.s. coast guard records of her approach including radio communications loti s logs and reports are available in the national after divers and available to researchers. she was heard at a strength of five meaning she was most likely within 50 miles of holland island. she and noonan felt they were nearly there. at 7:42 she said she must be on you but cannot see you and the ship's crew were actually out on deck starting to look for her. she already said that the fuel was running low. and we can only surmise they could not locate this tiny island, it was a mile and a half long and half mile wide. it's crazy to find this plane in the middle of the ocean like that. but the plane was blowing smoke. smo
