Hana, Maui - Charles Lindbergh’s simple grave, Pilots today still dip their wings in salute when flying over the site

Charles Lindbergh's simple grave

marker: Pilots today still dip their wings when flying over the remote island

location on Maui. It was characteristic

of Lindbergh to want a simple grave in

a remote location. He was an intensely

private man who disliked media attention and having his picture taken. But more than just his famous pioneering solo flight to Paris, Lindbergh contributed greatly to civilian air transport development through Pan American Airways, flying new PAA aircraft and defining routes, service

requirements and operational needs.

"If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea"

says the inscription on the grave.
