Riding with Lindy

An long hair and bearded man wearing a robe and top hat (Old Man History) rides an airplane (Spirit of St. Louis), while writing the name "Lindbergh" repeatedly on a pad of paper (History of Aviation). A box of pencils is attached to the back of the airplane. Below are some people looking up at the airplane from outside an adobe house, a horse rider with a sombrero and a woman carrying a big load on foot behind the rider, a giant cactus, several tipis, and the Mexican volcano Popocatepetl is visible in the background.
