Candy Bomber
95 year old Gail Halvorsen, best known as the Berlin Candy Bomber, has been around the world bringing joy and candy to children and adults alike. On July 3, 2015 he dropped approximately 1,000 candy bars, all with individual parachutes, to children waiting below at the Cries of Freedom event at SCERA Park from the aircraft shown above. This is likely his last candy drop after beginning the practice during the Berlin Airlift June 24, 1948 to May 11, 1949.
