    The Mission: To save a stripped out and forgotten D-Day Airplane from the Scrapyard and get her flying for the 75th anniversary of D-Day (June 6th, 2019).
    The Timeframe: We have only 6 months to get the DC-3 flying.
    The Reason: This airplane is only a handful left in the world that actually flew on D-Day. We are getting her flying in the memory of people who lost their lives that day, June 6th, 1944.
    The Cost: Everything we have.
    I hope you AvGeeks enjoy the episode!

It's heart warming to consider the memories that have surfaced since Plane Savers began . . . the recollections that tie everyone together are remarkable. DTD has pulled everyone back 75 years to a simpler place in time. And you, Mikey, have been the facilitator of our collective journey. Thanks a million! :)

    I hope the work ethic of the Students who helped on the project is noted by potential employers.
    DTD with the impressive looks, was built to fly and will fly well, this you could see in Joes body language.
    Congratulations to the "Team".

    When you look at the plane just 55 days ago, its simply amazing that it's ready to fly again. You and your merry band of outlaws did an amazing job. No other group in the world could have returned DTD to airworthiness in just 55 days of work. Mikey , give yourself credit for inspiring people from around the globe to get behind saving this old bird. Our Human D Day vets are passing every day. Thanks to you, Buffalo and your crew, one more mechanical D Day veteran was saved from the scrap heap.

    What an amazing adventure. It’s so emotional to see DTD go down the runway with her tail in the air. I can’t wait to see her fly. Great job everyone! I’m definitely gonna miss this show!!! Thanks Mikey for putting an episode out each day to let us be part of this.

    Mikey, you are a F-ING ROCK STAR!! None of this would have been possible without your efforts. I got teared up watching that bird roll at full speed too brother. Such and AMAZING and INCREDIBLE journey that you have taken us on and I am a better human being for it. D-Day is worth remembering for the heroics of those who came before us and gave all they had for the freedoms that we enjoy today. GODSPEED tomorrow and enjoy every moment. You have earned all the pride that you feel seeing DTD take to the skies once again! Again, AMAZING JOB!

    All the hard work was worth it to see DTD make her way to the taxi way under her own steam, not to mention the feeling of seeing her up on the front wheels , congrats to everyone involved with the plane savers team

    6:25 I KNEW Joe could not resist because I also knew DTD is that ready and willing! She also sounds willing to use all 200 hours available to be used. Plane Savers has been an INCREDIBLE JOURNEY and I'm so glad you had such wonderful people involved from top to bottom because I think I just shed a tear of joy for each and every one of you including Stuka! 156 days in a row is a fantastic accomplishment unlikely to ever be matched and we are so proud of you...post Plane Savers?...if nothing else perhaps once per week of viewers contributions and send ins?

    No dry eye here.
    I think that beech 18 in this episode could be something for next season of plane savers. If you do decide to do another season.
