Photo by City Photographer, 6/28/1967
On the 40th anniversary of Lindbergh's flight, a new reproduction named Spirit 2 was built by movie stunt pilot Frank Tallman. It first flew on April 24, 1967 and appeared at the 1967 Paris Air Show where it made several flights over Paris. In 1972, Spirit 2 was bought for $50,000 by the San Diego Air and Space Museum (formerly San Diego Aerospace Museum) and placed on public display until it was destroyed by arson in 1978.
