Lockheed LC-130D Hercules near Sondrestrom, Greenland, 1978
For many years the task of supplying remote U.S. military installations in the wilderness of Greenland’s vast tundra was that of the 109th Airlift Wing from Stratton Air National Guard Base, Scotia, New York. Diligent crews flew mission after mission, sometimes in unbelievable weather conditions, providing the only lifeline to base personnel. The success of these operations was in no small part due to the outstanding performance of the Lockheed C-130D Hercules, the dependable, seemingly ageless, workhorse of the United States Air Force. This image depicts a “Herky Bird” near Sondrestrom, Greenland in 1978. This commissioned painting was presented to Major General Lawrence A. Maciariello, Chief of Staff for the New York Air National Guard upon his retirement. General Maciariello flew many missions these ubiquitous aircraft.
