85th Anniversary Lindbergh NYP flight
 

May 20/21, the 85th anniversary of the Lindbergh New York to Paris non stop flight.

Lindbergh created the environment for very rapid advances in flight technology. Eleven years later, Howard Hughes' Lockheed 14 flew the same route, carrying 5 souls in half the time. It was the first leg of his round-the-world flight.

talk about advancement...Le Bourget, the French Airport is still an airport (where Lindbergh landed)

and Roosevelt Field, where Lindbergh took off, is now a shopping mall!~


Lindbergh was instrumental in getting rocket scientist robert goddard funded, lindy developed the perfusion pump making organ transplants possible.
