I found this photo just now. Very interesting C-123! I'm guessing the wingtip pods are auxiliary jet engines, possibly because it is ski-equipped and needed the extra power to unstick from ice or snow when fully loaded? It was evidently used by the AK ANG, and I found photos of it preserved outdoors at an Alaskan AB which closed and the aircraft was moved elsewhere. Just curious- does anybody know more about this Provider? (Photo via mediadefense.org)
