The Valiant Air Command Offers Rides in WWII Normandy Invasion Veteran -- C-47 "Tico Belle"

The Valiant Air Command is proud to announce that one of its most venerable warbirds has returned to flight once again; the C-47 "Tico Belle." From the Normandy invasion to Cherbourg, to Arnhem, to Bastogne, to the Berlin Airlift and much more, this aircraft was there -- over 65 years ago.

Now, YOU can experience all this history as a special and unique present for yourself, or someone you love. For only $175 you not only get a ride in our local area, but if you are not already a member of the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum, we'll give you an individual one year membership; and for only $225, we'll give you a family membership (a $100 value). These Museum memberships entitle you to free admission to the museum and to the annual 3-day Warbird Airshow, as well as other "members only" offers and opportunities.

Don't miss this exciting opportunity when the Tico Belle, returns to the skies with you aboard; complete with Normandy invasion identification stripes. You will be able to look out and truly imagine what it must have been like on that fateful June 6th, 1944. A day when the freedom of a world hung in the balance as she made her way in the pre-dawn darkness towards the beaches of Normandy; part of the largest aerial invasion armada the world has ever seen.
