Operation Overlord was launched on 6 June 1944 (D-Day). A 1,200-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving more than 5,000 vessels. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, some 13,100 of them, American paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions.
In this video, we take accurately recreate the routing of the 87th Troop Carrier Squadron, on their flight to deliver the 101st Airborne Division into Normandy.
We'll be using the superb, freeware, Aeroworx C-47 Skytrain, within X-Plane 12, departing and arriving from Orbx's Old Warden (EGTH).

Band of Brothers was such a masterpiece. I watch it every 2 years.
And also the Medal of Honor games
It was. Might have been "only" ten episodes but for my money it's the best program HBO ever aired.
That's the Blackburn Type D. I have been a few times, and will be there on the 22nd of September.
Well done, appreciate the nostalgia and respect.
Did you ever play medal of honor? The old school ones
Colonel Hargrove.
One of my uncles was in the first wave of US soldiers who went ashore that day. The other followed a few days later as a truck driver delivering supplies to soldiers fighting in France.
My grandfather never fought in the war. Nor did my father or any other of my relatives. Just thought you'd like to know that.

WOW Captain, thank you for the tribute flight. GREAT intro and editing. A time in our world that needs to be remembered and pass on to future generations! !! !!!
Splendid video. A remarkable bit of aviation at night. I remember the training in dead reckoning. The sergeant in the weather shop examined the entrails of a fowl and took a W.A.G. at the temperature and winds aloft, we bumbled through some trigonometry on the back side of the E6B "computer", and, mirabile dictu, always managed to find our way to the bar that evening.
Very interesting. I flew this with the A2A Misfit Squadron last night at the exact time That's All Brother took off. 2130z on June 5th. We took off from Greenham using the MJ C-47 in P3D. ORBX True Earth had enough of the airport to enable take off and landing. Outbound was 500 feet all the way with 700 feet for the drop then at 3,000 on the way back. That's all Brother did a further Two flights on June 6th, One towing a glider and the other dropping supplies.
I knew some of the old boys who worked on the Dak when I first started in this mad game, the stories they told made my time in the Gulf look like a walk in the park. Their stamina must have been phenomenal.
Thanks for the flight, as ever extremely professional.
I did essentially this route this morning, but tried to fly it in line with the real conditions, and dialled in a few failures too to take effect over the landing zone.
It was harrowing, and that’s when you know it’s a simulation and know the failures are coming…
Have to say the visuals look absolutely amazing. Way better than MSFS.
Excellent video to tribute the pilots who flew this day. My Grandpa flew B-17's in the 8th Army Air Force 452nd Bomber Group. While he wasn't involved in D-Day he flew several missions over Germany '44-'45 and earned his purple heart by catching some flak shrapnel early in 1945. Hopefully someday A2A makes their B-17 again as I'd like to recreate some of the missions he flew from the logs he left behind. He passed about 15 years ago and I wish I was old enough then to fully grasp the stories he told about the war.
What are your settings? It looks incredible
My dad was a FAC onboard a C-47 in Korea, his plane crashed the last day of the war killing the pilot. My step-dad's favorite plane to fly was the C-47.
Actor Tom Poston of "Bob Newhart" fame flew airborne troops during D-Day and subsequent missions. The one time I got to fly a LINK it was based on a C-47 flight model.
Love the Gooney.
You should try the VSkylabs C47 and DC3 on X-Plane. Dancing on the rudder pedals during take-off and landing.
Thank you for posting such a fitting tribute in memory of those who gave their lives on this day 80 years ago. My Father was at D-Day with the 1st North Northamptonshire Yeomanry. He was in Tanks. His tank was hit & he was the only survivor. Dad’s not with us anymore but I am so proud of him. This is just brilliant as all the services gave their all to liberate us all from that tyranny. Thank you once again.
Excellent introduction to the WW2 DC 3
This is actually better than Microsoft DC-3 and close to PMDG quality of the DC-6
Unfortunately PMDG abandoned X Plane in favor of MSFS
They made one plane for X plane (DC6)
X-Plane looks pretty good
Hi iTB. Please make video for A320 v2. If possible compare it to Fenix or FBW A320. Thanks
Colonel Stanley Hargrove (OSS) from Medal of Honor narrating. W. Morgan Sheppard is the man's actual name.
Hello! If you don't mind me asking, what reshade preset are you using in this video? It looks great.
With great gratitude to the self-sacrificing soldiers of the English, Americans and all their allies for liberating my homeland from the criminals of the NSDAP and thus bringing us a free future. In memory of all the victims of that time! ❤ And thank you dear "Into the Blue Simulations" for this nice made video!
I wonder if you will be comparing this to the pack for flight simulator ?
What's the sound pack again and how do we get this on xbox as the standard version of this on the sim sounds nothing like it should??
Wonderful flight in one of the greatest aircraft ever built.
I 100% thought this was the new msfs famous flyer at first 😅
Fantastic really enjoyed that, thank you 🙏
I am back demanding 4k again >:)
Thank you for going to the not small about of effort and work to produce this excellent video. If only you could actually drop paratroops, maybe one day.
The trailer showed paratroopers deployed. Wonder where’s the button for that.
Another wonderful video.. Planned & flown beautifully. Portland is quite close to us here in Dorset so it was amazing to see it from the air in a C47. I had a client who flew British Airborne into Normandy as well as Arnhem in Dakota's so it was wonderful to see the aircraft in the air..
Many thanks..👍👏👏
❤ well done Sir 👏
BBMF ZA947 Take-off checklist: Flaps UP, lever NEUTRAL.
yes
Old Warden… great choice. Much respect for this. Well done.
Cockpit looks much better the DC-3 mod.
A very fitting commemeration. Thankyou.
Remarkable tribute to remarkable men and women 🙏🙏🙏
Still no copilot in the cockpit.
Flaps on take off?
Thx !👍
Why as a brit did you not do the light infantry in the gliders the first to land on the evening of the 5th or 8 para that was the first to drop on that same evening and after it’s main task of destroying guns on the cliff to the north of the landing site and then for weeks holding the high ground above the main landing ground. Pegasus bridge where the Oxford and Buckingham light infantry landed one team had to take a 2cm a s cannon to shot and take out an other aa gun on top of the near by hospital with out killing any of the pregnant woman on the maternity word with complete
success.
That is quite specific...
I'm french and I just wanna say : Thx USA! vive la republique , VIVE LA FRANCE
USA wasn’t the only country involved , you should be thanking the Allied forces.
But you could never thank the British right dicksplash.?
France is an African and Arab colony now
@@stevenwood9267 Oh sorry for the confusion . Thx to all those : to the allied forces and to everyone that put their lives in danger so that I live and I know the free France of today, where I can play MSFS
X plane is WOW AMAZING GRAPHICS!
