You're welcome! I have soooo many photos of vintage aircraft (circa WWII) from a few weeks ago on my computer. My mom works at Wisconsin Aviation (she works in customer service, so she's not a pilot, but she still gets to meet a lot of cool people both pilots and non-pilots through her job). You could definitely say that I'm jealous of her job, but I'm still in college, so I still have time to figure my life out. Anyway, I took the photos I mentioned earlier at an event at WI aviation called Heavy Bomber's Weekend which takes place right before the EAA Convention in Oshkosh, so we have a lot of cool planes stop over here in Madison. We also have the Mooney Caravan which is where we have a bunch of small Mooney aircraft take off three at a time and fly in formation up to Oshkosh. I plan on uploading more photos from Heavy Bombers/ Mooney Caravan later this week after I get moved in.
But yeah, one of the vintage planes I photographed was a C-45 (I actually have one of the photo's I took of it uploaded in my gallery). It is very similar to a Lockheed Model 10 Electra which is what Amelia Earhart was flying on her attempted around the world flight. Like you said, I can't imagine how one could be in a plane that size for so long. The C-45 and Electra are very similar in both appearance and size. I can't even imagine how both Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, could fit in an airplane like that as their's was heavily modified so that they had extra fuel tanks, so it was also very claustrophobic.
