I was surfing around on Google Maps and looked at the Millville NJ airport.

It looks like the BAHF's C-97 is sitting on the Tarmac. According to their website the C-97 was at Millville for a while in 01/02.

Cool!

As Kevin and others from the BAHF will confirm, the C-97 was at Millville for several month in 2002 and was on display with the Foundation's C-54 Skymaster at the May 2002 Millville, NJ Air Show. I was fortunate to also be there the week following the air show when the Stratofreighter was fired up and took off for its last flight to Floyd Bennett Field in New York. It was a great sight and sound and as a supporting member I look forward with anticipation to the day when this great airplane will take to the sky once more.

The Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation has done an outstanding job of commemorating a significant period in U.S. Cold War history, and in working to keep these beautiful vintage propliner transports in the air where we all want to see them.

Very well said! They are a great bunch of folks who are doing their best to keep an important era of history alive.
