The group sitting on the runway amongst their baggage are the first contingent of Indonesian troops, some accompanied by family members, returning home after their tour of duty. They have been brought to the Mi-26 in the white UN transit van sitting behind them.

For ease of access, the helicopter's tailskid has been retracted.
