The event includes a parachute drop by members of the 82nd Airborne Division
The Air Mobility Command Museum has announced a public commemoration of the 75th anniversary of World War II’s Allied invasion of Europe on May 4.
Events will include up to 200 U.S. Army parachutists from the 82nd Airborne Division, the same organization that jumped over the Normandy beaches 75 years earlier. The soldiers will be jumping from modern Air Force C-17 Globemaster III and C-130 Hercules aircraft.
A centerpiece of the day will be an appearance of the C-47 Skytrain, “That’s All Brother,” which led the more than 800 aircraft that took part in the invasion. The aircraft, once headed for the scrapyard, has been completely restored to flying status.
All events are free and open to the public; gates will open at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 4. Access to the museum is from Delaware Route 9, and military identification is not required to attend the event.
Additional details will be published as they become available.
