World War II planes coming to Great Falls
Several World War II-era planes are headed to Great Falls this spring and summer.
On April 27, Kingdom Air Corps will bring a DC3 aircraft to Great Falls International Airport for the public to view.
The plane was used during WWII to move cargo, troops and wounded.
The visit is part of a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Allied victory in Europe during WWII.
Kingdom Air Corps is also using the visit to highlight the significant role Great Falls played in the Lend-Lease program, in which the U.S. ferried aircraft to the Soviets to fight the Nazis.
In late July, members of Bravo 369 are scheduled to return to Great Falls with their vintage T-6 Texan, which was among the type of aircraft ferried along the route.
The Bravo 369 team is re-creating the Lend-Lease route to Fairbanks, Alaska, and then on to Russia this summer.
Both groups are looking for people who were involved in the Lend-Lease Program and are inviting the public to view the planes at the Great Falls airport.
