Hey Boris,
I had an entire thread running in the "photos" section about Erik's flight. (Now the thread is called "Where's My Thread?") It got deleted some-how. It had a picture of Erik Lindburgh, his mother and me. I spent 20 minutes with him talking about his trip that duplicated his great grandfather's trip! Nice guy. The company I work for did all the media production for a big event here in Long Island, New York at the "cradle of Aviation" museum honoring his accomplishment. It re-anacted the flight of Charles while Erik narrated it and told his story along with music, video and an array of A-V magic!
The plane his great grandfather flew was built by RYAN AVIATION. The plane Erik flew was custom built (I do not remember the company). It was equipped with all the latest GPS and Satelite technology you could ask for. He had constant communication and enough food and water for the long trip. Alot MORE than his great grandfather had!
