Beautiful shot.

NY Air Guard out of Syracuse, NY. They've had that mission for a long time now...

Kieth,
The Schenectady Guard folks took over the arctic ski mission especially for supporting the two DEW Line sites on the Greenland Icecap from our unit, the 17th TAS at Elmendorf AFB, AK in 1975. Later also took over the Navy's Antarctic mission. I flew the C-130 ski birds (D models) '71-'75. 42 ski landings in the log book. Highly thrilling!

Always my favorite aircraft from my home town KSCH. I love to watch them do take off and landings at KSCH & KALB.

Excellent - the lighting and background sky make this look almost like a painting.

Beautiful!

Great photo. I worked on and flew with 57-0490 - 57-0495 at Elmendorf AFB, AK, in the late Sixties, before they were sent to the New York Air Guard. Landing and taking off on the Greenland Ice Cap was a high point of my career.

yes! nice shot of a great plane!
