Answer 6

Basketball is a game that requires "flying" through the air, much like Amelia Airhart.  While the game itself was invented by James Naismith in 1891, it started to become extremely popular in the 1920's and 1930's as a professional league was introduced.  The 80's gave rise to the person we call "Air Jordan".  I'm sure Amelia Airhart would have been proud to see players like glide through the air like an airplane.  I don't know if this is helpful, but I hope it is.
