Douglas C-47B
Skytrain
This Douglas C-47B was restored by the Great Lakes Wing of the CAF to the colors of "the Black Sparrow." The original Black Sparrow was the lead ship of the 302nd Squadron, Troop Carrier Command, 9th USAAF during the D-Day Invasion of Europe on 6 June 1944.
This C-47B served as the jump aircraft for the 82nd Airborne Division's All American jumpers, who carried the Canadian and U.S. flags during the 2006 opening ceremonies.
