The 82nd Airborne Division has a rich and storied history that spans decades. From the daring maneuvers of the 1930s RAF biplane, diving with the engine still running, to their capture of the S. S. Trooper in Belgium, this division has always been at the forefront of aviation excellence. Their fleet includes impressive aircraft like the Boeing KC-135T Stratotanker 58-0129 and Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker 58-0125, which have played crucial roles in aerial refueling operations. These mighty machines ensure that our troops stay fueled and ready for action. But it's not just about planes and tanks; memorials also hold a special place within this division's legacy. The 508th PIR Memorial at Sions Hof Hotel in Berg en Dal stands as a testament to their bravery and sacrifice. And let us not forget the Glengarry badge from 1874-81, made of brass - an emblem that represents honor and tradition. Across continents, these brave men left their mark on foreign soil. The US 82nd Airborne & 90th Inf Div Memorial in Gourbesville serves as a reminder of their contributions during World War II. Similarly, Neuville au Plein bears witness to the American 82nd Airborne Division's unwavering commitment to freedom. Their arsenal included iconic aircraft such as Douglas C-47A-5-DK Skytrain, North American P-51D Mustang (44-75024), and United States Air Force Lockheed F-94C Starfire (51-5594). These formidable machines were instrumental in achieving air superiority during critical missions. As we reflect on history, one cannot help but be inspired by the indomitable spirit of those who served under the banner of the legendary 82nd U. S. Airborne Division in1944. Their courage continues to inspire generations today – a testament to their enduring legacy.
