On November 8, 2001, at the AOPA Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation announced a new facet of its 75th anniversary celebration--Landings for Lindbergh™.  Alan Klapmeier, president and CEO of Cirrus Design has signed on as the event's Honorary Lead Pilot.

Pilots across the country and around the world will celebrate Lindbergh's accomplishments, and all that is good about aviation on May 18, 2002, the Saturday before the 75th anniversary of his non-stop, solo flight across the Atlantic.  They'll fly and land their aircraft at airports everywhere.

Reeve Lindbergh, Lindbergh Foundation president and daughter of Charles and Anne Lindbergh said, "Landings for Lindbergh™ offers pilots a chance to honor personally an aviation pioneer and American hero, and all my father accomplished throughout his life.  We will also recognize the essential place aviation holds in our modern world, a place he helped so much to establish.  I am hoping pilots everywhere will want to participate, and to land their aircraft together on May 18, 2002."
