In the Cadet Superchart under Achievement 12, directly under Earhart's photo, a caption says, "Record-setting female pilot who was lost while attempting to fly around the world."
Will this change if she is found?
She didn't complete the flight. So why would it change?
Still wouldn't change the fact that the flight was unfinished, that the aircraft went missing, etc.
So what? She ended up somewhere other than where she was supposed to be so she was/is lost.
Amelia Earhart wasn't selected because she failed to complete her last flight. She was selected because she was an aviation pioneer who was a woman. She had a number of other aviation related accomplishments.
Ms Earhart's plane parts may have been found but neither her nor Fred Noonan's bodies have been found. Rumors and myths have been rife since their disappearance almost 80 years ago. I doubt if they will ever be found or identified.
They've long since been turned to fish food and long since recycled to fish waste products at the bottom of Davy Jones's locker.

According to THIGAR....the bodies or at least Earhart's body (or parts of them) were recovered years ago and then lost again. But your point is valid....they will probably never be positively identified.
Having said that....no need to change anything on the super chart or even most of the history books. At the most maybe they will be able to close out the chapter with more details of their final days.
No need to change anything...she is honoured for her pioneering in aviation.
I am very sceptical that this pile of wreckage is indeed her airplane as there have been so many others.
I mean, it's not like she claimed to bomb German submarines with little yellow and red airplanes....
But with all that boredom out there over the vast nothingness, we'll never know if she dreamed to be bombing things from a shiny airplane..
There seems to be boredom here as well... That the OP ended thinking of a question like this...
:P
I'm not sure where you guys are getting your facts, but...
In August of 1995 (Stardate 48975.1), Amelia Earhart, Fred Noonan, and a number of others were found on
a newly discovered Class L planet in the Delta Quadrant, having been held in cryostasis for nearly 400 years after their abduction
by the Briori in 1937 (along with with more then 300 other humans).
Those abducted rose up against the Briori, and started a new civilization that increased to over 100,000 people by the time
they were rediscovered by the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager.
Earhart and seven others were believed to be dead, so they were left in their stasis chambers as a monument to the original 300.
Thus the reasoning behind the namesake award.
Pretty basic stuff, guys...
Now, what about Flight 19?
