Lindbergh commanding, February 6, 1929."Pan American's S-38 amphibian (NC8000), flown by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, arrives Cristobal, Canal Zone, with the first airmail from Miami concluding a 2,000 mile, two and a half journey through seven Latin American countries. The formidable course over water, jungle, and mountains established the western link of air routes that soon were to criss-cross the Caribbean. The newly-designed 100 mile an hour Sikorsky, often referred to as 'The Flying Duck', pioneered many routes for Pan American, playing a key role in the development of air travel to Latin America.
