Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Replica

This replica is the second built by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Because the replica does not have fuel tanks in front of the "Lindbergh seat," there is room for a second pilot to sit in front and see through small windows that are revealed when the burnished aluminum panels are removed. The first EAA replica was built to recreate and celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's Guggenheim Fund Tour of the United States (July 20 to October 23, 1927). After being flown once by Lindbergh's wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, it was put on display in EAA's AirVenture Museum.
