This " défilé aérien " was organized for July 30, 1981 when the 56S Staff deliverd the 6,000th badge to a just formed flying specialist. This was almost the end of Dakotas in Aéronavale, modification of a lot of Nord 262s in flying class-rooms being then under work. One easily understand the deep regrets expressed then by instructors very proud of their old mounts and sure to never see and hear again people applauding their Dakotas when parking at Oslo or Copenhagen civil airports for a stop during their very long navigation flights until the Great North...Probably the C-47 was the most popular transport aircraft ever built and remained in the heart of many European people often delivered from Germans by their armadas droping paratroopers during 1944 and 45.
