Santa Claus nose art painted on a C-130 Hercules aircraft of the 374th Airlift Wing commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Christmas air drops to islanders of the Federated States of Micronesia. Crews from the 345th and 21st Airlift Squadrons are assigned to fly the C-130 for the Christmas Drop '92 missions. Every Christmas since 1952, food, clothing, tools and toys donated by residents of Guam have been delivered by air to 40 Micronesian islands. Nose art reads "40th Anniversary 1952 - 1992."
