When the Miss Montana to Normandy crew finally landed in Duxford, England- the other pilots who made the journey from all over the world fessed up: They didn't even think the old C47 Mann Gulch firefighting plane would ever make it.

That's what Bryan Douglass had to say as he joined us live on the radio from Duxford, England. He told us about their remarkable journey across the Greenland Ice sheet, and shared a great story about their interaction with the British tower crew as they made their arrival into Duxford.
