Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" Has Landed

In 1928, Charles Lindbergh bestowed his iconic aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, to the Smithsonian, following his groundbreaking transatlantic flight from New York to Paris, and his worldwide celebrity touring.
Since then, it’s been suspended for decades at a time, first at the Arts and Industries Building on the National Mall and then the lofty ceiling of the National Air and Space Museum—until now.
