In 1930 A Pan American Consolidated Commodore twin engine flying air boat landed in Kingston Harbor. In 1931 Famous Charles Lindbergh landed smoothly in Kingston Harbor. Get the interesting details when you join the labrish. Walk with the Kingstonians down memory lane as we recall our special Sunday drive out, to the airport to watch the planes land like giant birds.
