A C-130 Hercules flies over a sandy plains. The plane is colored gray, with a yellow stripe on its tail. It has "US AIR FORCE" painted on its side in black, as well as "WYOMING AIR GUARD", below its wing. The background is the landscape; a wide stretch of land occupies most of the space, with green grass and yellow-white sands scattered evenly. Over the horizon, a mountain range is seen. Some of its peaks are snowy and white. The sky above is full of thin, long clouds.
