The FReeper Foxhole Profiles Charles Lindbergh - Oct. 25th, 2004

A cursory review of the MJ-12 documents will show their concern upon discovery that Charles A. Lindbergh and Spirit of St. Louis had entered the Spokane-Seattle worm hole, landing in Fairbanks in 1957, then reaquiring Portland 1927 without reporting to proper authorities--

In true bureaucratic fashion, it was decided that the statute of limitations for levying a fine for failure to file a flight plan had elapsed.

Photos of Lindbergh with the mayor of Fairbanks in 1957 are on file at the National Archives under title: Lindbergh & Spirit: Forty-nine (49) States and Three Decades--a Treatise on Roswellian Physics.

Charles A. Lindbergh and the J-5C powered Spirit of St. Louis. The engine
was standard except for the replacement of 18 manually lubed rocker arms
grease fittings with automatic spring and plunger types.

Standing in front of the rocket in the launch tower on September 23, 1935, are (left to right): Albert Kisk,
Goddard's brother-in-law and machinist; Harry F. Guggenheim; Dr. Robert H. Goddard; Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and N.T. Ljungquist, machinist. Charles Lindbergh, an advocate for Goddard and his research,
helped secure a grant from the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation in 1930. With that money
Goddard and his wife moved to Roswell, New Mexico, where he could conduct research and launch
rockets while avoiding the scrutiny and criticism of his colleagues and the press.

Goddard and his machinists returned to Roswell twelve years later, bringing with them the secrets of Alpha Centauri, including Tang, Teflon and the Atkins Diet.

a Treatise on Roswellian Physics.

LOL, love the daffy and doofus graphic.

[snippy_about_it]

Hey Sweetie,

Did I miss something?

LOL. No Sugar, every now and then our image hosting site (fotki) goes bonkers and this happens. The good thing is they will return!

[snippy_about_it]

Moi???

Hey, no french allowed in here!

[snippy_about_it]

We're sharp that way.

I have always said and continue to maintain that the we have the most intellegent Freepers on FR at the Foxhole. Our folks are the by far the smartest bunch around. Y'all prove it every week!

[snippy_about_it]

Everyone's a comedian, 'eh?

LOL. Great senses of humor live here. ;-)

Evening Phil Dragoo.

I love time travel movies. Too bad so many of them are really really bad. :-(

Those round engines must be warming the cockles of PE's heart tonight. Thanks for the info on the Wright Whirlwind engine.

It seems the only time KErry doesn't come off as a dork is when he dresses as the sleezeball politician he is.

Hey, no french allowed in here!

french?!?!? I thought it was Canadian. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

You take requests?

Our door is always open. No rules for ideas, only rules for doing threads. We have a reputation to uphold. :-)

Seriously, all ideas are welcomed and encouraged. Source material is helpful but not required. We spend so much time searching for stuff we are pretty adept at it. We just need ideas.

If you are ever interested in formatting an entire thread yourself (lots of work, just ask Professional Engineer)give us a holler. In the meantime though we can use all the ideas people can toss our way.

Impressive, given that there were only 48 states at the time! ;>)

Flying the "Spirit of St. Louis," he touched down in 49 states, .....

His efforts with the P-38 increased the range of the plane significantly, making it a serious Jap-killer in the Pacific.

Lindbergh also developed cruise control techniques that increased the capabilities of American fighter planes.

LOL. Good catch. Par35 caught it too. (post 34).

Thanks for stopping into the Foxhole. Lindbergh made some great advances in aviation despite his political views at the time.

[Ready4Freddy]

Makes one wonder..... who flew the first solo non-stop to Hawaii?

[Ready4Freddy]

So did the French, as well as the Russians. Haven't seen any studies regarding aviation acumen and political proclivities, have you? ;>)

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!!

[SAMWolf]

I can't believe I didn't catch that. It's good to know people are keeping us honest though. :-)

[Darksheare]

Yeah, I can't believe I missed this clown!

[PAR35]

My problem is that I haven't read all of the Foxhole entries, so I may suggest things you have covered.

Two things that come to mind are Patton's victory in the battles of Shreveport (1941) and Nashville. Here's a starting point on Shreveport: http://www.louisianalife.com/cgi-bin/display.cgi?magazine=15&volume=21&issue=4&category=0&article=1

The second would be a series on French defeats perhaps starting with the Battle of Dakar in World War II where the French defeated the French.

If you all have already covered these, my apologies. I'll come up with some other ideas.

[Ready4Freddy]

I was thinking that Lindy might have landed in Alaska as well (tho the map doesn't show it.....), and they counted it since the article was probably written after 1958????

Dear snippy_about_it,One of Lindberg's contributions to helping us defeat The Empire of Japan was that he taught P-38 pilots how to adjust their fuel mixtures so that they could extend the range of these very lethal aircraft.This aided(in no small way)to the "ambush"of Admiral Yamamoto's "Betty"aircraft and his subsequent death!!!
