 Restoring a C-54​


 Following the destruction of a tornado through the regional airport in Walterboro, South Carolina in April 2020, the much cherish Douglas C-54E Skymaster Spirit of Freedom aircraft at the Berlin Airlift Historical Association was severely damaged. With luck on their side, the organization was able to find a replacement aircraft with a C-54D. The museum is currently raising money to bring the replacement C-54D to airworthy status, maintain and repaint it, and display it on the air show circuit. If you would like to learn more about and donate to the restoration of the aircraft, please click here.
