Found this reference to USAF fighters escorting Kennedy on his famous visit to West Berlin.

I had always assumed that no Western combat aircraft had flown through the air corridors to Berlin during the Cold War.
There were plans for US, UK and French fighters based in West Germany to protect the corridors but did they ever do so?
