Centennial Tribute to Retrace Historic Flight of ‘Spirit of St. Louis’

# CPA Member News Brief

The Lindbergh Foundation is organizing a centennial celebration of Charles Lindbergh’s historic 1927 transatlantic flight, highlighted by an exclusive six-day private jet expedition (May 15-22, 2027) that will retrace the route from St. Louis through Washington D.C. and New York to Paris. This mission-driven initiative aims to inspire future generations in STEM and aviation innovation, with major commemorative events also planned for AirVenture Oshkosh 2027 and the Paris Air Show. While this is primarily an exclusive private jet expedition, the broader centennial celebration reflects continued public interest in aviation heritage and could provide opportunities for Colorado pilots to participate in related events and STEM outreach initiatives throughout 2027.
