A Kentucky Air National Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft deploys two bundles of simulated candy over the Ohio River during the Thunder Over Louisville air show in Louisville, Ky., April 18, 2015. The drop was a tribute to Col. Gail Halvorsen, a retired C-54 pilot who originated the idea of air-dropping candy to German children during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49. Halvorsen was guest of honor at this year's show. ( Air National Guard photo by Maj. Dale Greer)
