The National Warplane Museum and Veterans from WWII, Korea, The Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan gathered with friends and family for a big send off of their National treasure from Geneseo, New York.
Whiskey 7 took off this afternoon on a 3 – 5 day trip with a woman pilot taking the honors and controls for the first leg of the journey heading for Normandy France who is anxiously awaiting their arrival in anticipation of the 70th anniversary of D-Day. We were honored to be there for this event and took these photos.
It was one of the lead aircraft of the first strike of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944 over Sainte-Mere-eglse, Normandy. It transported paratroopers for the 82nd Airborne Division as part of Operation NEPTUNE.
COMES A SOLDIER’S WHISPER wishes Whiskey 7 and their staff a safe and successful trip.
