A special CAF Thank You to Vraciu and Greebo for the fantastic skins!  And thanks to everyone else that contributed to the effort.

An FYI on the C-47: it is the restored actual That's All Brother that led the D-Day Invasion flight, and it is painted as close as  possible to the way she looked when she departed for Normandy.  (Our archivist found dozens of photos taken before the launch - the markings are exact, including less than perfectly straight lines.  The colors are approximations based on 70+ year old photos.)

Thanks again!

You're most welcome.  Hope they're of use.   It was fun doing one for you.  I've been hanging around the CAF since the early 70s down in Harlingen.  Great times. 

I read about the restoration on the C-47 some time ago.   Such a neat story. 

Please let us know if you find any mistakes.  We can update the skins with corrections.
