The C-47, believe it or not, played several VERY IMPORTANT rolls in the War in Vietnam. It served as a gunship (AC-47), an Electronic Warfare aircraft (EC-47) and a Recon aircraft (RC-47).
What a beautiful piece of history. Such a great job in this restoration paying tribute to the hero’s during WWII. I am so pleased I was fortunate to see this war bird at our air show here in Corsicana TX. I will wear my That’s All Brother T-shirt with a big smile. Hope to see it again
A great aircraft! (I've jumped out of many of them, as a skydiver in the 70s and 80s.) Nice to see it restored so beautifully, and to see it flying again. (Nice landing, in the video!) :)
I'm curious, if you know, Why N47TB is listed as a DC-3 while there are aircraft registered as C-47s - I thought the painstaking restoration video I saw kept emphasizing it was the most authentic C-47 - as flown on D-Day. Excellent video.
One of the most emotional moments in my life was sitting in one of these seats taking a flight last week imagining what was going through the minds of the going men getting ready to take the greatest leap of their life. (Coincidentally, my husband and I were celebrating the 33rd year of our "leap" into marriage. Best way to celebrate ever!!)
heureusement que les américains sont là pour faire perdurer la mémoire. En France le musée Jean Salis à la Ferté Allais est également exemplaire et magnifique.
It flew over my house the other day. It was a great sight to behold.

Was this plane ever displayed at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh?
Not at the museum, but it shows up for AirVenture.
