DescThe Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation continues to have one Program Service. As stated in the Foundation's Articles of Incorporation, the Foundation is dedicated to preserving the memory and alliance of the men and women of the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany who conducted the greatest humanitarian operation in aviation history, and thereby sustained the besieged city of Berlin from June 1948 to May 1949. The Foundation continues to accomplish this Program Service by displaying a Douglas C-54 transport aircraft named the "Spirit of Freedom" as a museum/exhibit for the purpose of history, education, and remembrance. This reporting period was a tragic and devastating time for the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation. Due to the COVID Pandemic, all of the public events to fulfill our Program Service mission were cancelled. Then on April 13, 2020, our Douglas C-54 "Spirit of Freedom" was destroyed by a tornado while parked at Walterboro, SC. I'm happy to report we did manage to locate and purchase a replacement Douglas C-54 and have been working hard to inspect it and make it airworthy in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations and the Federal Aviation Administration. Our other airplane, a rare Boeing C-97G remains parked at Reading, PA, requiring a replacement engine. We continue to work on this issue.Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation is a small non-profit charitable corporation. All compensation is determined by the Board of Directors. Members of the board who also perform duties as employees and are compensated, abstain from voting during meetings when compensation is part of the agenda.

The Board of Directors determines the minimum number of paid employees required.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9The prior fiscal year insurance recovery of 95,000 dollars was received for the loss of the Douglas C-54E aircraft which was destroyed by a tornado. In the last reporting period, this insurance recovery amount of 95,000 dollars was originally posted as a reduction of the cost of requiring a replacement Douglas C-54D aircraft, which caused the replacement aircraft to be undervalued as an asset on the depreciation schedule. The adjustment is to correct the 95,000 dollars to an income item and not a cost adjustment reduction, changing the true cost from 95,000 dollars to 190,000 dollars on the depreciation schedule and total fixed assets.
