Legacy C-47s D-Day 80 Flyover June 10, 2024
Larger Image > Facebook | Flickr June 6, 2024 - Douglas C-47 Skytrain aircraft participate in a commemorative formation flyover, including Omaha Beach and coastal towns, during D-Day 80 in honor of the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord, more commonly known as D-Day, at Normandy, France. On June 6, 1944, strength of alliance, dedicated resolve and a multi-national, multi-domain operation won the day. Overall, the successful Allied landings along with more than 50,000 paratroopers being dropped by C-47s during the first few days created the basis for Europe’s future stability, as well as the reality that international collaboration could ultimately overcome totalitarianism.
