History Corner – D-Day June 6, 1944

A U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules, assigned to the 37th Airlift Squadron, Ramstein Air Base, Germany, wears the marks of “Whiskey 7,” as it flies over Utah Beach, Normandy, France, June 6, 2019. The 37th AS’ lineage draws from the 37th Troop Carrier Squadron, who wore the “Whiskey 7,” or W7 on their aircraft when they conducted paratrooper drops over Normandy, France during Operation Neptune, June 6, 1944.
