This is the lead C-47 Skytrain in the D-Day invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944. This aircraft was slated for engine conversion when someone checked the BuNo and found the historical significance. The CAF is undertaking the massive restoration needed. They plan to have it finished by the 75th anniversary in 2019.
