D-Day Squadron | 2024 Legacy Tour

The tour commemorates the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion and the 75th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift. We pay tribute to the allied forces that can by land, sea and air to liberate German-occupied France, and the allied forces between the U.K. & U.S. that delivered more than 2.3 million tons of food, fuel and supplies to West Berlin via more than 278,000 airdrops.

The 2024 Legacy Tour begins in the Northeast United States in mid-May 2024. Key dates include the kickoff week from May 13-18, the Hudson River Flyover on May 17, and various events across Europe until late June 2024.  For a detailed timeline, please refer to our events page.

Corporate partnership opportunities range from $5,000 to $500,000. For more information, please contact our Executive Director, Lyndse Costabile, at lyndse@ddaysquadron.org.

Depending on weather, two of the five aircraft may perform revenue rides during the kickoff days, however this is very fluid due to the tight schedule of events, flyovers and oceanic/survival training we have crews committed. If paid rides do occur, we will promote through our social media platforms.
