View from the ground at Mitchel Field, on Long Island Spirit as the Spirit of St. Louis is seen circling to land. A small group of people stand near a hangar. Lindbergh's plane lands on the grass field and taxis toward three army soldiers there to help him park. Lindbergh, in flying gear, steps from his airplane. Closeups of him standing near it. Scene shifts to Brooklyn New York, where Lindbergh, now dressed in business suit, and surrounded by a crowd, descends wooden steps to enter an open car. He sits prominently in the back of the car, accompanied by Raymond Orteig and officials. Mounted police escort the car. View from rear as motorcade drives along a festooned Brooklyn street with a "Welcome Lindy" banner stretched across the road. Motorcycle police escort the cars. Spectators crowd the sidewalks. The motorcade continues through leafy boulevards and open highways. Everywhere enthusiastic crowds line the way. American flags decorate the lead car. A group of Boy Scouts with massed American flags lines one side of the highway. Crowds, waving American flags, teeter on the edge of the sidewalks along a commercial section of town. View from a high location overlooking Prospect Park in Brooklyn, where people throng the sidewalks and park paths. Camera pans across the park. A motorcade (now grown to include numerous cars) circles to enter at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to the park. A slate reads: At Knights of Columbus Building for a luncheon in his honor." Then the motorcade stops at a building festooned with patriotic bunting and a banner reading: "U.S. Council 126 K of C." Later, Lindbergh enters the open car again with Raymond Orteig and they leave. Next, at the Brevoort Hotel (owned by Mr. Orgteig) an elaborate check for twenty five thousand dollars is shown. It is dated June 17, 1927 and signed by Raymond Orteig. Lindbergh and Orteig shake hands and chat amicably while attempting to pose for a photograph. Glimpse of U.S. Capitol building overlaid by a "Welcome Lindy" sign. Closeup of Lindbergh superimposed on top of that along with a waving American flag.
