Berlin Airlift C-54 Returns to FBF

The Berlin Airlift Historic Foundation C-54 returned to Floyd Bennett Field this afternoon. They store the aircraft in the HARP Hangar, where it undergoes maintenance over the winter, in preparation for the summer airshow circuit.

They flew up from Miller Air Park in NJ, making one pass over the field to verify conditions.
