Also taking part in this reunion was members of the Burtonwood Association and the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation. Burtonwood Airbase in England and the 317th Troop Carrier Wing both took part in the Berlin Airlift. The Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation flew their C-54 “Spirit of Freedom” to the reunion, and it was open for visits at the nearby Green County Airport. The 317th Airlift Wing based at Dyess AFB sent C-130J crew to this reunion.
