2000 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament

QX6634

The small, custom-built RYAN airplane named "Spirit of St. Louis" awakened the world to the possibility of long-distance flight on May 20, 1927. The first ever nonstop transatlantic crossing covered the 3610 miles from New York to Paris in just over 33.5 hours. Piloted by Charles A. Lindbergh, the highly modified RYAN M-1 airplane held one person and 400 gallons of fuel. A fuel tank blocked the pilot's forward view. Only one NYP plane was built.

This ornament is VERY HARD TO FIND due to LOW PRODUCTION!

The propeller spins.
