03/31/2006. Remarks by Jesse Callahan: "The slide was taken by me on a return trip to Tokyo to Haneda Air Base. ONA was a contract carrier for MATS (Military Air Transport Service) and was used to fill the gap when there were not enough USAF planes. The Korean War had just ended and there were a lot troops to get back home to the states."
