- In 1927, Lindbergh became the first pilot to fly from New York to Paris, on a flight lasting thirty-three hours and thirty minutes on May 20 and 21, aboard his specially-designed "Spirit of Saint Louis" in just two months. Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget airfield at 10.30pm on Saturday May 21, 1927, in front of a huge crowd. Following this feat, Charles Lindbergh receives the Orteig Prize from Raymond Orteig on June 16, 1927.
