The Spirit of St. Louis, piloted by Charles A. Lindbergh, carried out the first non-stop flight between New York and Paris on May 20-21, 1927. Flight time: 33 hours 30 minutes. Lindbergh is took off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, New York, on May 20, having slept little the previous night. His plane, 1,000 pounds overweight, took off barely making it to the end of the trail missing a telephone pole by just 20 feet. Battling fatigue much of the time, Lindbergh struggled to keep from falling asleep and, at intervals, stuck his head out of his plane window to cool off in the wind current. At the end of the 28 hours, he sighted the coast of Ireland and for the first time realized that he had reached his objective, the airport of Paris, France. While still miles away he spotted the bright night lights of Paris. Shortly thereafter, he landed at Le Bourget airport among the thousands of people waiting for him on the tarmac. At that moment Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis entered the aviation hall of fame.
