🚨 #OSH26 News: The C-54 named "Spirit of Freedom" is coming back to Oshkosh! 🚨

This aircraft was flown in the Berlin Airlift and Korean War, then later restored and currently operated by the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation.

🍬 The airplane is commonly known as the “Candy Bomber,” in honor of a C-54 flown by the late Gail Halvorsen that dropped candy to the children of Berlin during the airlift against the Soviet blockade of the city.

📍 "Spirit of Freedom" will be on display on Boeing Plaza throughout the week.
