The resumption of commercial aviation in Europe. The USAAF C-47 - engines running - has perhaps just arrived to become Swissair's HB-IRF in May 1946 after conversion. The photographer was really shooting the C-47A on the right, PH-TBA, which flew KLM's first postwar Amsterdam to Zürich service that Monday. It is still camouflaged with the KLM logo on the rudder.
