Auto Credit Based on Johndfg's Spirit of Saint Louis
My 1:1 scale SoSL. Has a full interior, with working controls. In real life, since there was no canopy, the pilot would yaw slightly, and stick his head out the side window to see forward (Seriously!). Camera 1 for cockpit view, cameras 2 and 3 for 'head outside window view'.
The Spirit of St. Louis is the custom-built monoplane that was flown solo by Charles Lindbergh on the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France.
I hope you guys enjoy!
