How DC-3s Flew to England for D-Day

In 1942 4% of US Army Air Forces flights across the North Atlantic were unsuccessful. Yet we decided to brave another long flight over open ocean in a 75 year old Douglas DC-3. Today the most treacherous part is facing the U.K.'s system of airspace.

I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.

Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.
