Help Support C-47 Tico Belle: Securing Her Future
The C-47 Tico Belle, a proud member of the Valiant Air Command, Inc., has a remarkable history of service, from flying in D-Day operations during World War II to being a centerpiece of airshows and parachute jumps today. She continues to inspire and educate audiences as a living piece of history.
Why We Need Your Help
Tico Belle's current engines are performing beautifully, and she is in excellent flying condition. However, to ensure her continued reliability and availability for the many events planned this year—including parachute jumps and airshow appearances—we aim to secure a spare engine to keep on-site.
Having a spare engine ready ensures that Tico Belle can remain operational and meet her busy schedule without extended downtime in the event of an unforeseen issue. With your help, we can provide the care and readiness she deserves.
How You Can Support Tico Belle
Your donation will go directly toward acquiring and transporting a spare engine for Tico Belle. Every contribution helps, whether it's ensuring her readiness for her next mission or preserving her legacy for future generations.
By supporting this effort, you're not just helping an aircraft—you're helping preserve the stories of those who flew her and the history she represents.
