Now just as Air Cargo Europe Trade Show ends in Munich June 7, in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany a nine day event will begin on June 10 as The Berlin Airlift will be recalled with a giant fly-in by more than 40 vintage aircraft  that saved that city during the blockade of 1948-49.
The 70th anniversary of the end of the Berlin Airlift is shaping up as a world event.
For people today in air cargo, and for people that love aviation everywhere, here is an opportunity to step back to the future to see, touch, and feel what it was like when air cargo was front page news all over the world and a city of two million people depended on a narrow aerial lifeline.
