Had many flights on one including skydiving from one in New Jersey. We used to ride to Peong Yang Do (P Y Do) from Osan AFB for duty with the Army Security Agency.

There are/were a few of these planes in Normandy set up for the paratroopers that you used to be able to enter. While movies give you an idea on the space, being inside one is a whole different story. There is also a glider in one the museum buildings in St. Mere Eglise that you pass through as you exit the museum. For my generation, this is still something of recent history, but soon to be more like ancient history as we lose the last of the 66,000 veterans of the greatest generation that we still had in 2024. Anyone interested in WWII history would be very happy with 3 or 4 days in Normandy. One of our lifetime favorite visits away from home.
