C-54D "Spirit of Freedom" participated in a Celebration of Life event for "Candy Bomber" Gail Halvorsen at Provo, UT on the 20th of May. I photographed it the next day taking off at Spanish Fork Airport for a candy drop re-enactment. It formed up with a USAF C-17 with the C-54 dropping about 500 candy laden miniature parachutes to a large crowd of enthusiastic youngsters who had gathered at the airport for the event.
