THIS C-47 TROOP CARRIER WAS PART OF THE NORMANDY D-DAY ASSULT, THE TICO BELL FLEW 5 MISSIONS ON D-DAY ALONE AND SEVERAL MORE ON D-DAY+1 INCLUDING TOWING A GLIDER. SHE WAS ON HER MAIDEN FLIGHT TEST AFTER 10 YEARS OF RESTORATION, AND HIT A CROSS WIND ON LANDING WHICH PUT HER INTO A SLIDE AND SHE BELLIED UP THE RUNWAY WITH BROKEN LANDING GEAR AND PROPS. SHE IS NEARLY RESTORED AGAIN WITH ONLY A FEW WEEKS LEFT BRFORE THEY TEST THE ENGINES AND GET HER FLYING ONCE MORE.
