A C-47 aircraft made in 1944 landed at Kunming Changshui International Airport on the afternoon of October 15, after a commemorative "Hump" flight, widely known as the most dangerous aircraft route in China during World War II.
The 70 year-old transport aircraft departed from Australia in August and successfully re-flew across World War II "Hump" to arrive in Kunming on Saturday.
A group of three Australian and two American flight crew are in the process of recreating one of the great Allied World War II aviation triumphs.
The C-47 will eventually fly to the Flying Tiger Heritage Park in Guilin, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, as a historic exhibit.
The Hump, or the "death route" over the Himalayan Mountains, was operated to transport military supplies from India to Southwest China from 1942 to 1945.
