To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift operation, a grand event was held in Wiesbaden, Germany, showcasing the largest and most important humanitarian aid mission during the Cold War era and emphasizing the steadfast alliance between the United States and NATO. The event included activities such as C-47 transport planes air-dropping supplies and candies, honoring the 75,000 individuals involved in the mission and paying tribute to those who sacrificed during that time. The event also involved naming a new air traffic control tower 'Colonel Halvorsen Tower' after retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Gail Halvorsen, known for the 'Candy Bomber' initiative, symbolizing the friendship between America and Germany.
