Diary entry by a Portland, Oregon citizen dated 9/14/1927, approximately four months after Lindbergh’s historic flight from New York to Paris:

On September 14, 1927, Charles “Lindy” Lindberg made a triumphal tour through Portland. His welcome included a parade, a banquet at the old Multnomah Hotel and a radio broadcast to children. According to the Oregon Journal, his reception was, “the greatest Portland has ever accorded anyone.” Before the ‘Lone Eagle’s” departure, local mechanic Danny Greco fixed a hole in the Spirit’s elevator, apparently torn by a stick kicked up during the land on the Swan Island runway which was unsurfaced and unmarked then. On Lindy’s flight south, he dropped leaflets over Eugene and other points reading “Greetings from Lindbergh.”
