Well heres a review of this past Saturday at FRG:

They had 4 C-47 flights, in memory of D-Day.
The flights took off from FRG went over to fire island and then headed back to FRG. It wasn't the best day for flying since there were low cielings.

Each flight was pushed back 2 hours b/c of the weather and b/c of an oil leak they had when the C-47 was about to leave Jersey.
It was nice flying a C-47 the first time, " and dawning the uniform" which had 101st marking on it. Reinactors went up with each "stick"/flight.

It was an awesome trip, I'd just wish the museum would have less restrictions on photographers, who like aviation.
BTW most of the window shots were shot blindly over my shoulder.
C&C are welcome.
Here they are:
