DescThe organization continues to have one Program Service. As stated in the organization's Articles of Incorporation, the organization 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 organization 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 about the great Berlin Airlift of 1948 and 1949. This reporting period was marred with maintenance issues with our Douglas C-54D transport. Due to propeller issues, nearly all of the flying activities were terminated until these issues were resolved. As a result, the income form Program Service and contributions was reduced. As for our very rare Boeing C-97G transport, we made good progress in locating the parts needed to begin the process to get the C-97 airworthy once again.Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Board member Matthew A. Chopp is the son of Foundation President and Board Member Timothy A. Chopp
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8bNo such committees exist.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 9Board member Alberto Herreros passed away during the tax year.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bAt the annual Board of Directors meeting, which occurs on October 25th, the governing body is presented with a financial report for the reporting period. The fiscal year for the organization begins on November 1st and ends on October 31st. The financial records are made available to the governing body at the annual meeting. The completed Form 990 is made available to the governing body the same time it is filed electronically with the IRS. It requires several months to accumulate the required data to complete Form 990 following the annual meeting
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. While much of the work is performed by volunteer help, the operation of a large aircraft does require the responsibility, knowledge, and experience of a few employees required by the Federal Aviation Administration to operate and maintain large transport aircraft like our Douglas C-54 and Boeing C-97G. The Board of Directors determine the minimum number of paid employees required.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18As required in IRS publication 557, the organization makes disclosures via Form 990 and related state reporting documents, copies of which are made available upon request. Presently the organization does not engage in any activities requiring further disclosures as dictated in Publication 557, page 21. At this time the organization has no conflict of interest policy. The organization does make the statement, printed in various documents, and we sites, that the organization is a 501(c)(3) charity listed in IRS publication 78. For additional sources to obtain Form 990 reports about the organization , the following sites are referenced: www.seriousgivers.org, www.taxemptworld.com/organizations, www.guidestar.org and foundationcenter.org/findfunders/990.
