Our guest today is the grandson of the American aviator who in 1927 completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. The gifted athlete was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and disabled by age 30, yet later regained mobility through knee replacements and a breakthrough biotech drug. He went on in 2002 to retrace his grandfather's solo New York–Paris crossing, raising over $1 million and helping kick-start the private space-flight era with the XPRIZE. As Chairman of the Lindbergh Foundation, he is involved with the Save the Date centennial events celebrating the Spirit of St. Louis on May 21, 2027. Meet Erik Lindbergh.
