Spirit of St. Louis 2
The re-creation of aviation history’s greatest flight.
New York, June 13th 1927
On the day of Lindbergh’s return from Paris an estimated three million Americans celebrated in the streets of New York. From fifth avenue to lower Broadway the crowds were immense and the confetti raining down on the horse drawn carriages and floats produced one of the finest ticker tape parades this great city has ever witnessed.
Le Bourget Airfield near Paris, France, May 21, 1927
Charles A. Lindbergh set the Spirit of St. Louis down in a French airfield just outside of Paris after a grueling 33 1/2 hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
Our Vision
The SOS2 project will re-create Charles Lindbergh's 1927 solo New York to Paris Atlantic crossing.
The SOS2 aircraft is the only Spirit replica professionally purpose-built to make the Atlantic crossing.
It is constructed with attention to authentic detail while adhering to contemporary safety standards.
SOS2 intends to carry modern, lightweight Sat-Com gear enabling the aircraft to transmit the entire flight and experience live to a global audience.
Education is a high priority for the Spirit of St. Louis 2 project. A project goal is the transmission of the flight via the web to a global audience, including school children worldwide.
