Key Takeaways:
During the D-Day Squadron's 2024 Legacy Tour in the U.K. for the 80th D-Day anniversary, one of their WWII-era DC-3 aircraft was broken into, and five Bose headsets and GoPro gear were stolen.
Bose, a long-time supporter of the organization, swiftly donated five new A30 aviation headsets to replace the stolen equipment for the Western Airlines DC-3 crew.
The new headsets arrived in Germany in time for the 75th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift commemoration, allowing the crew to comfortably continue their historical aviation mission.
It is never fun when someone steals from you, especially when you are traveling overseas as part of a historical aviation event like D-Day Squadron’s 2024 Legacy Tour.
The tour, made up of 11 World War II-era DC-3s and C-47s, began in North America in May before heading to England to take part in events marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
