Gen. Mike Minihan, Air Mobility Command commander, along with Col. Gail Halvorsen's family members, unveil the renaming of a C-17 Globemaster III to "Spirit of the Candy Bomber" in Provo, Utah, May 20, 2022. Halvorsen went down in history for his selfless acts during the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and 1949. Then-Lt. Halvorsen took it upon himself to help boost the morale of the children in West Berlin by attaching handkerchief parachutes to chocolate bars and dropping them from his aircraft to the children below.
