A C-47 Just Overflew My House on it's way to Normandy
 
Just finished cutting the grass - it's a beautiful spring day here with temps in the low 80's F. Then I heard 'that sound' - looked up and there was a DC-3/C-47 headed east.
Presumably it's this one - DC-3 (N877MG, formerly a C-47B) - belonging to the Historic Flight Foundation. I checked on-line, and sure enough it was scheduled to leave today on it's way to Normandy, France for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day (apparently departed a bit late - it was schedule to depart at 3pm but it was a little after 5pm when it flew over.
After the D-Day Anniversary events, it's scheduled to continue on to Germany for the 70th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift.:ok:
Here's hoping they have a good, safe, and pleasant trip.:D
