Let's Fly across the Atlantic!

Cock[pit of custom-built, single-engine, single-seat, high-wing monoplane that was flown by Charles Lindbergh on May 20–21, 1927, on the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France, for which Lindbergh won the $25,000 Orteig Prize. yep, thats a Wicker chair

Turn the plane sideways if you wanna look forward!
