Taxying for departure to Marseilles after arriving from Keflavik the previous evening. Has the logo of dune buggy manufacturer Meyers Manx on the tail. The aircraft had been here some years previously, in September 1958 as USAF 51-7186. Albatrosses were a common sight and sound around PIK as they had been based here with the local USAF Rescue Squadron in the 50s and early 60s.
