Lindbergh's Second Bounce The top picture is a painting by Charles Knotek. It depicts the moment just as it became airborne on its take-of from Roosevelt Field. The lower photo is a monument dedicated to Charles Lindbergh's epic flight from New York to Paris. It was erected next to Fortunoff s department store in Westbury Long Island, New York. This is the approximate place the "Spirit of St. Louis" took a "second bounce" on its takeoff into history. Instrumental in this project was Andrea Fortunoff - Registered Architect and daughter of Alan Fortunoff. Her collaboration with sculptor "Chris Pelletieri helped create a graceful, lasting impression of Long Island history. Our hats are off to the above people for their contributions in helping preserve Long Island's past and the historic flight that opened new pathways in air transportation.
