Here's a list of the C-47s that will be flying over Normandy this week. A few years back, we (as a unit) made a small donation to the restoration of "That's All Brother" which is #13 on this list. Glad to see it will be there!

The 75th anniversary was totally awesome and exceeded my expectations. I had to leave before the big jump on La Fiere but I got to Jumpmaster the D-Day Doll twice and did one freefall jump and one static line jump.

It is amazing that they all raised the funds to get there. I heard it cost about $2-$3 million.

One of the benefits of social media is that we got to see a lot of footage from the day. It was so great to see all those C-47s flying over Normandy skies!
