In conjunction with the U.S. Air Force 75th Anniversary year, candy tied to parachutes were dropped on a waiting crowd in honor of the legendary World War II pilot Col. Gail Halverson, best known as the “Berlin Candy Bomber” or “Uncle Wiggly Wings” for dropping candy to German children during the Berlin Airlift from 1948-49. (U.S. Air Force photo David Perry)
