Jim Jazdzewski submitted this photo and note: “The C47 Skytrain ‘Wild Kat’ performs a World War II D-Day airborne drop demonstration during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024, a very solemn and humbling tribute commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The overcast and gray sky seemed appropriate for this picture.”

Saw this too in Oshkosh. The formation of three C-47s was impressive. Far more than the way-too-loud military jets on burner, which ought to be limited to the public weekend crowd.
