Lenticular galaxies are so named because of their lens-like

"We are extremely grateful to EAA for making the Spirit
available to us for our auction. The Spirit remains one of the most
recognizable airplanes in the world, an icon of Charles

We hope the opportunity for a ride in this incredible aircraft will
draw lots of excitement from the aviation community and increase
the interest in the mission and programs of the Foundation as
well."
