First Flight, Proper Usage?

I am wondering if this cover is franked this way for a reason or made up. Also if this is a first day cover? I am assuming it wasn't flown by Lindbergh either but was on the route. Any help would be appreciated!

It is clearly philatelic. It is also a First Flight Cover, but I do not think it is a First Day Cover!

I don't really understand the piece. Lindbergh arrived in Panama on the 6 of February and I think he left the same day. Doesn't the postmark say the 9th?

EDIT: I see he left for Panama City the same day. His return flight to Miami was scheduled for the following Sunday, which would have been the 10th. I wonder if he left a day early. In that case, you've got quite a cover there!

Okay, now it gets confusing. Below is a cover that is described as follows:

This cover (not flown by Lindbergh) was flown on the first (unauthorized) flight from Panama to Miami on February 10, 1929. As this service was "precluded by the contract between Pam Am and the US Post Office", it is known as the "outlaw flight." It is associated with FAM 5-2 from Cristobal to Miami, flown by Lindbergh. The cover is dated February 8, 1929, which is also the first day of issue for the Panama C1, which was prepared for the flight. The most recent edition of the AAMC has listed this cover as F5-2b.

Cover Details:

2/8/1929, Agencia Postal, Panama postmark. The airmail cover has the proper circular cachet and "Panamerican Airways Primer Vuelo" cachet. The stamped envelope is franked with a Scott C1. Although not flown by Lindbergh it is listed in the AAMC section on Linberghiana as #46. It is also listed as FAM 5-2b. The C1 and FDC are also listed in the same volume in the Lindbergh "stamps and labels" section (p. 1470 of the 5th edition). The airmail cover has a sealed flap.

To add a bit, the reason this is melodramatically called the "outlaw fight" is that Pan American's contract with the U.S. Post Office for the new connection between Miami and Panama only authorized Pan Am to carry mail back to Miami from the Canal Zone and not from the country of Panama. The government of Panama was hoping for Pan Am to carry their mail to Miami and so they made an unofficial side deal with Pan Am for Pan Am to fly a second airplane behind the official first flight airplane that was carrying the official first flight mail from the Canal Zone. The first aircraft that carried the official mail from the Canal Zone was piloted by Charles Lindbergh and co-piloted by another famous Pan Am pilot - R. J. Merritt. The unofficial tag along aircraft was piloted by A. G. Person. Your cover was flown on the unofficial flight flown by A.G. Person. While these covers are not found on every street corner, they are not especially rare. They sell regularly on ebay in the $7 to $15 range depending on the stamps used, how nice it looks overall, whether it is autographed by the pilot, etc.

A.G. Person went on to fly for many years for Pan Am until in 1939 he was landing a small seaplane in the harbor at Rio de Janeiro and was almost down on the water when he hit a crane on the edge of a loading pier breaking the aircraft in two and killing 14 of the 16 people aboard, including A.G. Person.

Thanks I had most of the info already but nothing on AG Person. I appreciate the info!
