airport aviation appraisals website releases rare lindbergh documentary footage

Posted on December 10th, 2010 by in Aviation News

Although “Airport & Aviation” might be a somewhat unusual website which provides a reliable source for financial valuations which airport businesses all over the world rely on. The financial airport website has also made history with some of its other posts that draw the attention of aviation enthusiasts from all over. The President of the website, Win Perkins, has a special passion for aviation as well as Charles Lindbergh who made history from his own aviation exploits. Because Perkins has taken a special interest in Lindbergh’s life, he had decided to put his recent compilation of rare footage from the historic figure’s flight history for all to see on the website.

Among the footage that can be seen is the takeoff of Lindbergh’s plane from Roosevelt Field which is located on Long Island. The clips are mixed in with audio that has been enhanced from numerous news sources. Perkins claims that he has a majority of the footage of Lindbergh’s takeoff from Roosevelt field as well as other rare gems that remain in his own collection. The clips of his takeoff apparently have the original and properly-synced audio to go with it, a truly rare find, especially considering how many years have gone by since it was originally filmed.

Those people who are just as interested in Lindbergh’s legendary takeoff as Perkins will be able to access the video on the Airport & Aviation website where they can see the original video and audio together for the first time in many years. As the “Spirit of St. Louis” starts making its way down the track past all of the cameras, you are able to make out the sound of the news planes hovering overhead capturing the entire event. The old familiar honking of the horns from the chaser cars can also be heard as the plane gets going and takes off into the air.

Just as the airplane is pulling up it almost hits nearby telephone lines and someone on the ground can be heard yelling “Pull up”, encouraging Lindbergh to clear the lines before the plane hits them. There is no doubt that this new footage of Lindbergh’s takeoff towards Europe has yielded a lot of excitement from a variety of people all over the world who wish that they could have been there or at least seen the plane taking off the ground for the very first time.

The website has this footage of the takeoff as only one part of a documentary which is broken down into a series of four parts. The scenes included in the documentary lead up to the eventually Oreig Prize that Lindbergh wins. Perkins demonstrates his own intimate knowledge of Lindbergh’s life as well as his flights through the footage he provides to those who visit the website. Fans of what Charles Lindbergh was able to accomplish have waited for rare footage such as this to come out for a long time and they finally have what has been thought to be lost forever.
