Douglas DC-3 (N47E)
On a cloudy/hazy sky from Western forest fire smoke, 6 C-47's/DC-3's make their way down the runway.
When is the last time the aviation buff saw this?

Imagine the sound of those 12 Twin Wasp radials! No turboprop would ever sound so good.
June 6, 1944
And they'll still be out there flying when my grandson is as old as I am!
5 June 2019 there were 20 C-47s/DC-3s over Normandy in formation and dropping paras on an original drop zone.
This formation is:
Placid Lassie (N74589) in lead
That's All Brother (N47TB)
Betsy's Biscuit Bomber (N47SJ)
Spirit of Benovia(N8336C)
Miss Virginia (N47E)
Rendezvous with Destiny (N150D)
