I know its after the fact now, but this morning (5-6a.m. CST) the story of Eric Lindbergh's Atlantic crossing in a Lancair Columbia 300 was aired on the History Channel.  I caught it by accident, but enjoyed watching it.  Just thought that I would mention it so that you can check the TV listings for a replay.  Oddly enough, it was listed under the category of "Classroom".  Here's the writeup. -- Mark S.
