Hey everyone, welcome aboard! ✈️ [Boarding PASS HERE]
I’m Nova Hall, and for 26 years, I’ve been on a wild journey—one that started in 1999 when I stumbled upon a forgotten chest in my garage. Inside? 900+ lost artifacts from my grandfather, Donald A. Hall, the chief engineer of the Spirit of St. Louis. 📜🛩️ I'd never met him. That discovery changed my life… and, believe it or not, I actually had hair back then! (Proof is in the video. Watch and laugh.) 😂 Flying Over Time is a non-profit(501c3), and we’re using history to educate, inspire, and impact the next generation of innovators. With the 100th anniversary of Lindbergh’s flight coming in May 2027, we’re on a mission to reach 600,000+ kids! 🚀 📽️ Watch the video below and tell us your favorite part! If you DM the admin @Wendy Wiseman with how it ends, you’ll get a special digital gift that grows in value as we get closer to the Centennial. 👀🎁 Let’s keep history alive—and have some fun doing it! ⏳⚒️ 📷 Watch TLC episode: https://youtu.be/COUbSeG3fAA?si=Tf6-icv9Btagh_jA

How Lindbergh and Hall Planned Their Route – With a Laundry String!
When Charles Lindbergh and Donald A. Hall planned the famous Spirit of St. Louis flight, they didn’t have GPS, flight planning software, or even detailed ocean maps. Instead, they walked into the San Diego library and found the biggest globe they could. 😁 Hall pulled out a string from his laundry that morning, stretched it from New York to Paris, and that was it. No shipping lanes. No following the crowd. Just the shortest, fastest, and most daring route possible—the great circle path. (TRUE STORY!) That same mindset—thinking differently, solving problems, and making history—is what our aviation community is all about. What will innovate flight in the coming years that is in your pocket?? We bring together pilots, engineers, and aviation pros to show the non-pilots the way! Kids need more than a quick flight up and down. They need you to: - Share aviation knowledge and career tips. - Mentor and connect with the next generation. - Keep history alive while shaping the future of flight. We need more pros in the community ASAP to keep it growing and visible. If you love aviation, this is the place to be. 🚨What’s a moment in aviation history that inspires you? Drop it in the comments!🚨 @Nina Anderson @Casey Gultom @Pace Ellsworth @Frank Kraljic

✈️ Risk-Takers: When the Spirit of St. Louis Almost Didn’t Happen
🖼️ Picture this: It’s 1927. A mail pilot no one took seriously walks into a room with a bold idea—to cross the Atlantic alone. Every other competitor has had mounds of cash, a team to fly with, and top-tier aircraft. This mail pilot has financial backers, and almost nothing else. The odds are stacked against him—until one man, Frank Mahoney, makes a decision that would change history. He had recently hired Donald A. Hall from Donald Douglas in Santa Monica, California. Mahoney assesses the two: Engineer and Pilot. Hall wasn’t a drinker. Neither is Lindbergh. Both are focused, disciplined, and shared an unspoken understanding of flight and science. Hall has critical knowledge of ocean flying and piloting. Lindbergh understands engineering and mechanics. What of the two men's connection? Do they have chemistry? Yes...Its a spark between the two that catches Mahoney's eye. It will turn an underdog, into the greatest aviation legend of all time. 🔥 Do you bet on the impossible? Do you sweeten the deal, and take the bet on two you recently met? (which is what Mahoney does, then shortly after, accepts Donald Halls assessment to move the time frame up from 90 day delivery, to 60 days. Working the crews 24/7 and the engineer, w/o asking for more money from Lindbergh) As an business owner, do you risk it all on an unknown plane, a pilot-dreamer, and an new chief engineer? 🚨 Drop your thoughts below—what do you guess made Mahoney say “Yes”, when others said “No”?🚨 @Casey Gultom @Wendy Wiseman @Frank Kraljic @Dawn Nave @Misty Morrison
