Charles Lindbergh, also known as Lucky Lindy, was an American pilot who in 1927 flew the Spirit of St. Louis from Long Island, New York to Paris, France in the first solo, nonstop transatlantic flight.
History
After Bart defeated Nelson in the Springfield Soapbox Derby Race, the commentator said the world had not seen the likes of this since the French carried Lucky Lindy off on their shoulders from Le Bourget Field.[1]
In 1927, just as he was about to depart from Long Island on his historic flight, Charles Lindbergh grabbed Mr. Burns' childhood teddy bear, Bobo, out of the water to take with him and later threw Bobo into the cheering Parisian crowd, where it was grabbed by Adolf Hitler.[2]
During a confrontation with federal agents searching for Mona Simpson, Abe Simpson attempted to distract them by falsely claiming that he was the Lindbergh baby.[3]
During the Springfield Air Show, Bart Simpson dismissed the Wright brothers' Model B airplane as obsolete, prompting Grampa Simpson to recount what he believed was its history. According to Grampa, Charles Lindbergh flew the aircraft fifteen miles at Kitty Hawk in 1903 using only a thimbleful of corn oil and, single-handedly, won the American Civil War. When Bart asked how he knew so much about American history, Grampa replied that he had pieced it together "mostly from sugar packets."[4]
