The Experimental Aircraft Association has built two Ryan NYP replicas. The first is on display in the EAA Museum and this second one that is flyable. A faithful replica with a few differences for safety. These include a Continental R-670 engine in replacing original's Wright Whirlwind (more reliable and parts easier to find), an electrical system, more modern instruments and a tail wheel. A second pilot seat is also installed between the engine and cockpit replacing the forward fuel tank. The upper turned aluminum panel can be removed to reveal windows for (some) forward viewing.

Crashed on the same day, killing the pilot.

Seen here at le Bourget to celebrate 60th anniversary of the famous Charles Lindbergh's flight .

Later displayed in the EAA Museum at Oshkosh WI.

NYP replica built by Century Aviation in 2011. Bill Bryson's book One Summer made me realise how great Lindbergh's achievement really was, especially navigational.

This was to be the last flight of Ryan NYP Replica ES-XCL. Soon after departure, the wing folded upwards and the aircraft broke into pieces, 1,000 feet above the end of the runway. This aircraft was a replica in which Charles Lindbergh made his first solo transatlantic crossing from New York to Paris on the 20th/21st May 1927. The Ryan monoplane was named 'Spirit of St Louis' and was to be the star of the air show. The pilot was killed.

This full-sized replica is suspended from the ceiling of the arrivals hall at San Diego International Airport. The airport, Lindbergh Field, bears the name of the pilot famous for flying the original aircraft solo across the Atlantic.
