Rhein Main Fall 2026 Reunion

Myrtle Beach, SC

Our 2026 Rhein Main Air Base reunion, is now in the history books.
For the ones that missed it, we had a superb time. 

We dined at two different German Restaurants, then ended the reunion with an outstanding buffet, 
at The Benjamin's Original Seafood Restaurant, in North Myrtle Beach.
(This restaurant claims to be the BIGGEST buffet in Myrtle Beach). 

We had an OUTSTANDING Hospitality Room.

Our weather was outstanding: Thursday and Friday.
Saturday morning was cloudy, cold, rainy and somewhat cold winds.
Luckily, during Saturday evening it cleared, but the temps were brutal.

It was great seeing OLD friends and meeting NEW friends.

We had a bit of confusion with Registering for the Reunion.
For our 2028 Reunion, we will have a Reunion Registration Form that will be used.
You will be required to complete the form and returned it to your Reunion Hosts.
This will solve the problems we had with over booking at the various restaurants.
You won't be added to the ATTENDING LIST, until the form has been completed and returned.

Once we come up with the dates, please put them on your calendars. 
Many folks said, not enough notice time, I didn't know about the reunion, etc.
Plan to attend, because we don't want to hear, we didn’t have enough notice time.

70 Years Berlin Airlift Anniversary Beer Stein

This German stein celebrates the 70th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift (1948-2018).  Gold text encircles the base reading "Berlin Airlift ~ 70 Jahre ~ Luftbrücke Berlin ~ 70 Years". 

Relief vignettes of important Berlin landmarks wrap around the body, including the Reichstag, Siegessaule, Gedachtnis-Kirche, Brandenburger Tor, Schloss Charlottenburg, Checkpoint Charlie and the Dom. 

The top banner reads "Deutschland" "Germany" and the German state coat of arms encircle the base.  The front banner reads "Berlin" held by a black bear - a symbol of Berlin.

A stunning lid with relief crossed USA & German flag is finished with a 3D solid pewter figurine of a plane.

Strict limited edition of ONLY 200 individually numbered beer steins Worldwide!

Historical Background (printed on certificate that is included with purchase)

In 1948 Russia tried to claim West Berlin once and for all by starving them out.  Water and power was cut.  All ground transportation closed.  Consequently, the US decided to supply the 2.5 million people of West Berlin via air.  Over 200,00 flights in less than 11 months were flown in providing to the West Berliners up to 8,893 tons of necessities, such as food and fuel, each and every day.  By the spring of 1949, the airlift was clearly succeeding and on May 12, 1949 the Soviets lifted the blockade giving up their efforts. 

Berliners have never forgotten this gracious help to keep their city alive and they continue to celebrate the anniversary of the Berlin Airlift until this very day.
