It would be tough going for the Foundation to remain in operation without the generous product support from several patriotic corporations. Over the years, we have become accustomed to the fine and reliable products and services that help keep the C-54 "Spirit of Freedom" flying, and soon our Boeing C-97 the "Angel of Deliverance".  If you would like to become a Product Supporter to the "Spirit of Freedom" or "Angel of Deliverance", please contact the Foundation at Airlift48@aol.com
