NBC Nightly News had a video on this project which can be seen here.

From the 1941 HAG project:
"The Return to Normandy Project. The project is honoring the members of the Greatest Generation who served their country during the Second World War. The mission is to return the National Warplane's Museum flagship Douglas C-47 to the skies over France for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The aircraft, affectionately known by her distinctive squadron marking, Whiskey 7, was the lead ship of the 37th Troop Carrier Squadron, dropping elements of the 82nd Airborne Division near St. Mere Eglise, France in the early hours of June 6th, 1944. Whiskey 7 will participate in the 70th anniversary commemorations by dropping members of the Liberty Jump Team over the original D-Day drop zones."

The 1941 HAG is based in Geneseo, NY which is about 30 minutes south of me. They hold an annual airshow in July and these images were taken at past shows. I love the old "prop planes" and am fortunate to be able to see them any time I want.
