The LC-130 after it landed at South Pole. At these temperatures (-60F) it creates a contrail on the ground, so no cargo can be loaded. They do a "combat off-load" of cargo, which means they push it out the back as the plane is still moving, because you can't safely drive a loader up to the plane through the contrail. (The contral isn't blowing snow, it's basically a cloud.)
