They gave us a certificate stating we flew on the same airplane that was the first airliner to go across the US and on that first flight both Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindberg were passengers.

Mike I went to Couer d'Alene and missed getting on the plane. It was always on my bucket list and when they came to the Napa Airport about 4 years ago there was no way I was going to miss this one.. All the passengers were people from my V-8 RG. Even got a photo of my '41 pickup parked under the wing. Crossed it off my bucket list!
