Rudolph the Red Nosed Herc: Making spirits bright

Members from the Kaiserslautern Military Community pose for a picture with a member dressed as the Grinch in front of a decorated C-130J Super Hercules aircraft during a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Herc event at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Dec. 5, 2025. As part of an annual tradition, a C-130J is decorated to look like the Christmas character and is offered to the KMC as a photo opportunity event. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Paden Henry)
