Joining a growing list of local and national efforts to launch aerial shows of support for coronavirus (COVID-19) first responders and essential workers, New York’s National Warplane Museum (NWM) will be conducting a series of flyovers in western New York on May 16. “Operation Thanks From Above” will overfly locations such as hospitals, Veterans Affairs facilities, city centers and parks in the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse areas. The flights will be led by the organization’s Douglas C-47, “Whiskey 7,” which participated in the second wave of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.
