Key Takeaways:

The Commemorative Air Force's Douglas C-47 "That's All, Brother" has safely returned to the U.S. after completing a European tour.
The aircraft participated in commemorations for both the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the 75th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift.
"That's All, Brother" holds unique historical significance as the actual aircraft that led the first wave of jump aircraft over Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
During its tour, the C-47 flew war veterans over D-Day beaches and honored the spirit of cooperation and resilience of the Berlin Airlift, serving as a "flying museum" for WWII remembrance.
