Mission Profile (source Wikipedia)

Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 - August 26, 1974), nicknamed Slim, Lucky Lindy,and The Lone Eagle, was an American aviator, military officer, author, inventor, explorer, and environmental activist. At age 25 in 1927, he went from obscurity as a U.S. Airmail pilot to instantaneous world fame by making his Orteig Prize-winning nonstop flight from Long Island, New York to Paris. 

Lindbergh covered the  33 ¹⁄₂-hour, 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km) alone in a single-engine purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St Louis. This was the first solo transatlantic flight, and the first non-stop flight between North America and mainland Europe. Lindbergh was an officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve, and he received the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor for the feat.

The Mission Profile of Flight 

Here is the 'special' side of Flying from some of the people who knew before us!:

The Wright Brothers created the single greatest cultural force since the invention of writing. The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, languages, ideas, and values together. - Bill Gates

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. - Leonardo Da Vinci  

Flight is the only truly new sensation than men have achieved in modern history. - James Dickey

You haven’t seen a tree until you’ve seen its shadow from the sky. - Amelia Earhart

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I? - E.Y. Harburg

I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport. - Amy Johnson

Sometimes, flying feels too God like to be attained by man. Sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see. - Charles A. Lindbergh, The Spirit of St. Louis, 1953.

Whenever we safely land in a plane, we promise God a little something. - Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook, 1960

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying. - Friedrich Nietzsche
