Veterans come together for WWII C-47 flights in Allegany County WELLSVILLE — A recent weekend included a special occasion for 40 participants of the Allegany County Dwyer Program for Veterans: Service members came together to experience a veteran-only flight experience on Whiskey-7, a C-47 delivered to the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1943. Participants were invited to bring their families to tour the plane between flights and engage with volunteers from the National Warplane Museum’s crew to learn more about Whiskey-7’s origin and status of restoration. Whiskey-7 was the lead plane of the second
wave of paratroopers on D-Day and went on to participate in other operations during World War II. This plane was donated in 2005 to the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, where it has been under restoration to return it to its condition as of June 6, 1944. As each flight landed, family members and volunteers welcomed home veterans of Allegany County. Photos and videos from the event have been published on the program’s Facebook page, @Salute to Allegany County Veterans.

2025 Angelica Heritage Days coming up this weekend Organization, it also serves to remind that Angelica is the county’s oldest village. It has a storied past that relates not only to the Revolutionary War but also the political conflicts of the early 1800s. David Haggstrom, one of the founders of the boosters group, said, “Angelica Heritage Days is when many, many people return for class reunions and to visit friends and family. It’s always a popular event and well-attended.” To celebrate that aspect of the weekend, this year’s t-shirt is red and white. It recalls the Angelica School colors prior to the district merger

ANGELICA — It’s no ordinary home days this year for the 56th annual Angelica Heritage Days. Scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 2-3, Heritage Days will interest Angelicans, Allegany County residents and those who are just looking for a family-friendly good time with information about not only the village’s history but also what’s in store for the 2026 national celebration of the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding. While the Heritage Days celebration serves as a major fundraiser for the Angelica Booster
with Belmont, which took place 30 years ago next year. And while there will be plenty of events geared toward local residents, such as displays in the library’s Colonial Rooms, there will also be a road tour of Angelica’s automotive history. “In the 1960s the village boasted two car dealerships and five gas stations,” Haggstrom said. This year’s event features a walk or ride tour of those old sites and includes nine stops and a look at the wooden Joncey Bridge. In addition to AngelAngelica Heritage Days continued on PAGE 4
