Sean Mitchell

San Marcos is now home to the aircraft that led hundreds of others in the D-Day invasion. Bobcat Update's Sean Mitchell has the story.

Housed in a 1943 vintage wooden hangar, the Central Texas Wing at the San Marcos Airport is home to some historic military war birds -- just like this one here called "That's all Brother."

The C-47, as it is called, was sold after the end of World War II passing from one civilian to the next.
SB
Luckily, a historian from the Air Force tracked it down, and the plane has since made its way to San Marcos.
SB
This plane was chosen to lead the pack, in part, because of its name.
SB
A lot of effort has gone into restoring the C-47.
SB
An anniversary associated with the aircraft is coming up soon.
SB
As for the future of "That's all Brother," it seems quite bright.
