Authentic Models Spirit of St. Louis Airplane Model
In summertime, small planes fly over the beaches of Holland, pulling large banners promoting sunscreen and beer. Depending on the weather, the beaches are packed with people working on their suntan. It''s hard to imagine people willingly flew those old biplanes, but traversing the Atlantic single-handed probably gives flying buffs similar jitters. It did make me appreciate Lindbergh though, flying pretty much blind from New York to Paris. Staying awake for over 33 hours in a rattan chair, trying to figure out his height relative to heavy seas below, and his position versus his destination. Aptly named, the Spirit.
