On June 8, 2019, the D-Day veteran C-47 "That's All, Brother" joined a U.S. Air Force C-130 from the 37th Airlift Squadron over the shores of Normandy, France to pay tribute to the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
"That's All, Brother" is a true D-Day veteran, and was the lead plane of the 800+ strong airborne invasion which dropped thousands of paratroopers & supplies behind enemy lines ahead of the main force assault on the beaches on 6 June 1944. It was incredible to see her return to where she saw her finest hour so long ago. The 37th Airlift Squadron also traces their lineage to D-Day, so to bring them both together was something really special.
The plane is now owned & operated by the Commemorative Air Force.
The 37th Airlift Squadron, based at Ramstein AB, Germany, traces its lineage to D-Day as well, so they painted D-Day stripes on several of their C-130s, and in cooperation with myself and Moreno Aguiari - Executive Director of the "D-Day Squadron" - joined forces over Normandy in an incredible formation to pay tribute to the thousand who gave all for freedom to help liberate France and Europe, as well as pay tribute to the veterans who survived and the few who are still with us today.
