D-Day Commemoration
June 6 @ 10:00 am – June 7 @ 5:00 pm
Mark your calendars for the 2026 D-Day Commemoration weekend. Join us for vintage aircraft, special educational programing and living history displays as we honor the service and sacrifice of the Glider Pilots who flew unarmed gliders into landing zones deep into enemy territory during the Normandy Invasion. They, along with thousands of other pilots, braved enemy fire to bring men and equipment into the areas behind the seaborne invasion beaches in the overall effort to breach Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and begin the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. – Information from Silent Wings Museum, https://www.mylubbock.us/829/Special-Events
