Paul and Group,

 I thought I would pass this link on.  Some great history of one of our
most impressive aviation pioneers...

         A friend sent this to me and it is excellent ................

         Be sure to watch parts 1, 2 and 4 after viewing part 3.  They
really enhance the story.

         Subject: Lindbergh's takeoff...

         Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport
properties, has posted on his Web site a video he created of Charles
Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff in the Spirit of St. Louis.   According
to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff footage.
Perkins said he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras that
filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long Island" and "mixed it
with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources."

         After you watch the "Takeoff Video (Part #3)", be sure to 'click'
on "Contact" on the Left side on the web page to view all of the Videos
"Parts #1 thru #4".

         My hunch is that after you watch the "Takeoff Video (Part #3)" ...
you will want to see the others. And then, ask yourself: "Would I have had
the guts to have done it"  ????
