Simpler times and avionics...they built the Spirit of St. Louis in 60 days.

Both beloved Americans...Will Rogers sitting next to Lindbergh, chatting...In August 1935 Rogers would tragically die with fellow Oklahoman Wiley Post on a fishing trip to Alaska...in Post's Lockheed Vega.

Terrible web site - Full of popup ads and spam.

Apologies if the newspaper (San Diego Union Tribune) website has popups and/or advertisements. I use a popup blocker and don't see them. In the future, I'll look for an alternate website to avoid any non-aviation distractions to the content.

Don't even bother with this site unless you like ads & similar rubbish. The poster and site should be banned from FlightAware.

Great photos. Did Lindbergh ever smile? I'll have to re-read A Scott Berg's bio of Lindbergh one of these days.
