I was an air traffic controller assigned to the 1946 Communications Squadron, Tempelhof Central Airport, West Berlin, from 84-88. Even then there was still a plan to support another Berlin Airlift if it became necessary. The lead unit was the C-141 wing at Charleston. Every month, under the code name Bamboo Tree, they would send an aircraft plus two crews, to Berlin for training in flying the corridors.

A week late, but thanks ops33, for sharing your first hand experiences in the area.
Quite interesting to know that a back up plan was still in place in case needed.
We thank you for your service to our country.
