A C-130 and an H-21 of the 21th Composite Wing, likely at their home base, Elmendorf. The C-130 wears the 21th CW's sword badge on the tailfin and the Firebird badge of the 17th Tactical Airlift Squadron on the forward fuselage. It operated as a ski-equipped C-130D in Antarctica in 1960. It later changed to a very different environment, having been sold to Honduras, and crashed in the jungle on 14 August 1986.
