GEAR UP! Take trip back in time with the American Airpower Museum’s C-47 D-Day Living history flight experience! 

The first, and still one of its kind unique historical flight experience programs that pairs participants with living historian re-enactors who take you back in time with an immersive experience learn about the the mission, and the courageous Airborne troops themselves who were the first to land in occupied Europe on D-Day as well as the C-47 Aircraft and crews that flew into harms way to liberate Europe marking the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany. 

This is an immersive 2-hour program that begins with gearing up with our living historians, then taking part in the historic D-Day mission brief, and then board the WWII legendary C-47 as a paratrooper with our living history guides. You will then enjoy a 35-35 minute flight where you will take in the sights of the Long Island shores that mimic the beaches of Normandy and sounds of what it was like to fly onboard the “Skytrain”. You will be able to walk around the Aircrew stations, see the pilots in action, and engage with our living historians in open Q&A during the flight. 

Once back on the ground you will de-plane and be able to take photos, and have additional Q&A time permitting post flight. An incredibly memorable experience for a history buff or someone honoring a loved one who flew or jumped from the  legendary C-47 “Skytrain”.
