The Lindbergh Foundation: Why flight is so important from General Aviation News
Charles Lindbergh could see things in the distance. Not just other airplanes, or a landing strip in France one May night in 1927. He was the best of risk-takers. He could visualize both trouble and achievement before their time, and he was determined to adapt the tools of the present to the needs he could see in the future.

It's the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation. I'm not a spokesman for the organization. I'm a pilot who now serves on its board of directors....
