The Spirit of Freedom visited Elizabeth City Coast Guard Base 12-13-08 to simulate a "candy bomber drop" with the original pilot, Col. Gail Halvorsen,for the local children to show how many selfless pilots helped bring hope to young Germany children after they began experiencing the grueling ruins of their war-torn country. The Berlin Candy Drops were hand-made parachutes attached to chocolate bars and gum. This visit not only dropped candy from the plane for every child, but they also allowed free tours on the Spirit of Freedom that has been converted into a working museum, as well as free t-shirts & baseball caps for all who attended! www.germany.info
