In this year of the 80th anniversary of the crossing of the Atlantic by lindbergh charles, the a380-airbus flies to the conquest of the United States: 19.03.2007: two a380 flew today for the first time to the United States, to the east coast and the west coast respectively. The msn-007 development aircraft, with 500 passengers on board, took off from francfort (Germany) to land at the john f. Kennedy International Airport (jfk) in new york (usa), as part of a series of commercial "road-proving" exercises carried out in collaboration with the company deutsche lufthansa. The aircraft will join the airport of chicago o'hare (usa) on 20 March and will return to jfk (usa) on the same day, before its return to francfort (Germany) on 21 March and the continuation of its "road proving" towards Hong Kong (China) and again the usa. At the same time, the msn-001 test a380, part of toulouse (france), landed on the international airport of los angeles lax (usa), as part of a series of airport compatibility tests that will take place on site with the collaboration of qantas airways, an Australian airline that will carry out the first regular service sydney (australia) - los angeles (usa) with a380.

80 years earlier, the American airman charles lindbergh, 25, successfully crossed the Atlantic in solitary and non-stop. Left on May 20, 1927 at 7:00 a. 57 of the morning of roosevelt field near new york on board the monoplane "spirit of saint louis". After a flight of 5,810 km and 33 hours 27 minutes, the spirit of saint louis landed at the airport of the bud, near bets, on 21 May in an indescribable enthusiasm. The hero is ripped out of his cockpit while souvenir lovers begin to tear the starring of his plane.

Despite the great progress that has been made in aviation since the time of this exploit, lindbergh's performance and courage are still greatly admired. The many failed attempts of this crossing before lindbergh (including the white bird of nungesser and coli) show how beautiful this performance is. Its name now appears in the history of aviation alongside clement ader and louis bleuriot. Five custom postage stamps (tpp), four us vignettes, several special stamps and numerous aerophilatelic folds commemorate this double event of the first American stopovers of the European super-jumbo and the anniversary of lindbergh's exploit.
