Also slightly digressing, the FAA had variety of C-47, C-131, DC-6, T-39 Sabreliner going into Tempelhof from the 60s onwards till the wall came crashing down. Think they were runway calibration / checker a/c.
cheers
Out of interest, is there any evidence that they were retrieving people/packages with Fulton gear along the way?
