Does anyone have any information on the Spirit of St. Louis replica that is supposedly being built to fly the Atlantic in May 2009? The Charles Lindbergh web site that was taken over by the group doing the project NEVER has information on the plane. When I asked about it on the message board (on that web site) two years ago, I was banned (might have been my approach)!

Wasn't there a bunch of legal problems with it, including major parts of the airplane disappearing?

Sorry, but that sounds like a really dumb idea.

Yeah, there was a court battle of some sort awhile back...

I like the idea of an accurate replica, not the idea of an Atlantic re-flight...
