C-47 Skytrains “Placid Lassie” and “Chalk 40” and a pair of UH-1 Hueys are among the many unique aviation assets helping to deliver supplies and aid in the wake of Hurricane Helene. (thanks George!)

C-47 “Placid Lassie”, is a veteran of Operations Neptune (D-Day), Market Garden, Repulse (the Bulge), and Varsity.

"Chalk 40” is also a World War II veteran, but served with the Royal Air Force as KG395.

The airplane took part in Operation Mallard, towing a glider for the airborne operation in support of D-Day. She later went on to be fitted with skis to support the recovery of the P-38J Lightning “Glacier Girl” in Greenland.

Doing some of the heaviest lifting are Vietnam War veteran UH-1 “Huey” helicopters of the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation from Hampton, Georgia.
