Recreation of the DDay invasion in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. 75 years later, the event "Daks over Normandy" had gathered more than 30 C47 aircrafts. Some of these aircrafts were also participating in DDay.

Flying from Duxford (England) to Caen (France), this huge formation flight is said to be the biggest meet up since World War II. During this 75th anniversary, paratroopers landed in Sannerville, Ranville and Sainte Mère Église, just like in 1944. Among the jumpers was even a 97year old veteran!

DDay saw at least 50x the amount of Dakota C47's dropping paratroopers, than what could be seen during this amazing event.
