"Last Vittles Flight" ...

... "leaves Rhein Main Air Base, Frankfurt, Germany headed to Berlin Tempelhof Airport. At 1845 hours on September 30, 1949 marking the end of a dramatic chapter in Cold War history."

A neat video well worth the time to watch it.

Thanks for posting that link, Mark. Apart from those beautiful C-54s, the London, Paris and Berlin scenes are great. I'm just old enough to remember an English house and garden like the one near the beginning. Owned by a richer branch of my family! And note the PSP holding up the Paris-Orly sign. I've read that much of the airport interior was also decorated with PSP covering the walls.
