    Hi Joe:

    Many years ago I saw the movie about the Charles Linbergh’s solo-non-stop flight of this plane across the Atlantic Ocean from Roosevelt Field on New York’s Long Island to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. It was an historic flight in more ways than one. After that event, the aviation industry acquired a whole new dimension to this very day. We are now planning flights to Mars.

    Thank you for the memories.

    Omar.-

      Thank you Omar 🙂 Imagine flying to Mars ? I will be posting more images from this museum on my blogs involving space flight in the future.

    This image is a real beauty. I remember hanging out at Roosevelt Field Mall in my younger days and going to the movies there. Where is this in relation to the mall?

          Its partially demolished going through a major renovation (for a few years). I went to so many concerts at the coliseum but Madison Square Garden always sounded so much better (acoustically).
