Of the 80 airmen who participated in the Doolittle Raid, Dick Cole is the sole remaining survivor. He was Colonel Doolittle's copilot. This week he got a ride on a restored C-47 that was the lead aircraft used by the 101st Airborne in the paradrop the night before D-Day.

I’ve had the opportunity to meet him on a couple of occasions. Amazing story and an absolute honor to be able to hear it directly from him.

He was at Chino last month.

My hat is off to the folks at CAF too. That is an incredible restoration.
