Restored WWII Plane to Return to Normandy for D-Day Anniversary
At the invitation of the French government, a C-47 will return to France in June to participate in celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. In June it will recreate its role and drop paratroopers over the original drop zone in Sainte-Mere-Eglise. (www.foxnews.com) Más...

Looking forward to the video in June. Thanks!
Awesome. Saw this bird and met the crew at the Waterloo Air Show last summer. Congratulations on raising enough money to make the trip! I'm happy to see my $10 go toward something as special as this.
There is at least one C-46, bigger and with more cargo capabilities still flying commercially with Buffalo Airlines out of Yellowknife, North West Territories, Canada. I know it came along in 1942 but this plane is still hauling freight up the Mackenzie River in some of the most challenging conditions on earth. It isn't a museum piece. Oh by the way. Buffalo also flies the DC-3 (C-47) and 2 Electras. These are all flying commercially as we speak.
