An LC-130 Hercules from the New York Air National Guard's 109th Airlift Wing based out of Scotia, N.Y., flies July 28, 2010, over Greenland, on a mission to resupply the remote science research outposts there. The 109th Airlift Wing is the only military unit in the world to fly such aircraft and has flown missions to Greenland since 1975. The unit now provides airlift support to the National Science Foundation's polar research program here. (Department of Defense photo/Fred W. Baker III)
