Berlin Airlift "Candy Bomber" turned 100
Colonel Gail Halvorsen is still walking the planet and recently turned 100.
He came back to command the Air Group at Tempelhof while I was in West Berlin. Remembered by this ol' Army dog because they had, of all the countries and services, the best NCO club ('Silver Wings)' in the city. Great bands, hot women and surf & turf flown in from Bangor every Friday. Also, they had Masters at Arms that would kick out ossifers trying to sneak in. "But your dates are welcome to stay. Right this way Ladies."
