Royal Air Force Flight Lt. Belinda Wall (left) and Royal Air Force Squadron Leader Nick Lilley (right), from 99 Squadron RAF Brize Norton, United Kingdom, stand with retired Col. Gail Halvorsen, the famed "Candy Bomber," moments after the C-17 Aircrew Training Center was dedicated in honor of him at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., June 15, 2012 to recognize him as one of the finest mobility legends. Halvorsen was a command pilot in the United States Air Force. He is best known for piloting C-47s and C-54s during the Berlin Airlift from 1948-1949. Halvorsen dropped candy attached to parachutes to children below. His main goal was to raise the morale of the children during the time of uncertainty. During the Berlin Airlift, the United States Air Force worked closely alongside the Royal Air Force.
