Cancellation policy

While we never intend to, we reserve the right to cancel any flight at the Pilot-In-Command’s discretion.

These reasons include, but are not limited to: 

    • Weather conditions – Because of our aircraft’s historical importance, we restrict the operation of “That’s All Brother” to Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions. Normally, we’ll try to postpone the flight until weather conditions improve, but sometimes Mother Nature wins. 
    • Maintenance – Unfortunately, sometimes things break, and we may need to delay, postpone, or cancel a flight until maintenance can fix a problem.
    • Seat requirements. Sometimes the minimum number of seats to economically operate the aircraft for a given flight aren’t sold. First, we’ll try to move you to another flight, but that may not always be possible. We ask for your consideration if this occurs. We’re a non-profit organization and rely on sales and donations to operate each flight.  

Requirements

  • Smoking is prohibited on the aircraft ramp.
  • A liability release must be completed and signed before boarding. You can complete the form online at: www.holdharmless.org
  • Passengers must be 5 years of age or older.
    • Youth, ages 12-17, must have a legal guardian present at check-in to sign the release form.
    • Children, ages 5-11, must be accompanied by a parent on all flights.
  • Passengers must attend a pre-flight safety briefing before boarding. There will be crew members to assist you in boarding, securing seat belts, and answer any questions.
  • The aircraft engines are loud. We require ear protection to be worn during flight. If you do not have your own, foam earplugs may be provided.
  • For your safety and protection, all passengers should wear long pants. The metal interior of our aircraft can get quite hot, even on mild days. Closed-toed shoes should also be worn for safety and to prevent possible injury entering and exiting the aircraft.

Security

Security requirements and operating conditions vary at each airport. Please be ready to show your ride or tour pass E-ticket at the security checkpoint. You may need a security credential at some locations, such as a wristband or lanyard, before you’ll be allowed to approach the aircraft.


Tours

Tour “That’s All, Brother” – the historic aircraft that led over 800 C-47’s over the drop zones of Normandy, France on D-Day — June 6th, 1944.

You’ll learn about the three major systems that made this lead aircraft so unique — Rebecca / Eureka, the SCR-717C Navigational Radar, and the GEE Mark II navigational system. 

You’ll learn about Lt. Col. John M. Donalson, the Command Pilot of 438th Troop Carrier Group, the 13,000+ paratroopers of the 101st and the 82nd Airborne, and the 4,000 troops that flew gliders towed behind these transport aircraft. You’ll also hear stories about the little Scottish Terrier, that flew with the crew that fateful day. 

Come visit her at the hangar in San Marcos, Texas or buy a tour pass to see her while she’s on the road. “That’s All, Brother” has so many stories to tell…
