It's always great to see a vintage aircraft restored and this one has a story to tell. I'm very happy to see that the CAF will paint it in its D-Day paint scheme.

Great story of a great find. Several articles have been run here in Dallas of this aircraft. We are losing our greatest generation but their legacy lives on.
