Key Takeaways:

The Commemorative Air Force's historic C-47 "That's All, Brother," the actual lead aircraft for the first wave of D-Day paratroopers in 1944, has safely returned to the U.S. from its European tour.
The aircraft participated in significant commemorations, including the 80th anniversary of D-Day (flying over Normandy with veterans and reenactors) and the 75th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift.
This restored C-47 serves as a "flying museum," honoring the bravery and sacrifices of those who served during World War II.
