Following the Graf Zeppelin’s maiden crossing of the Atlantic from Friedrichshafen to the U.S. East Coast in 1928 ​ — during which the airship was damaged — ​ President Coolidge ran onto the White House lawn to look at the colossus passing overhead.
Kui „Graf Zeppelin ” aastal 1928 lennul Friedrichshafenist USA idarannikule esmakordselt Atlandi ookeani ületas – mille käigus ta ka viga sai –, jooksis president Coolidge Valge Maja muruväljakule„ hiiglase ” ülelendu jälgima.
