KLM Royal Dutch Airlines stewardess holding an AR-10 as part of the KLM polar survival kit issued to crews flying over Arctic territories.

Stumbled onto this while looking for a different photo. Also here’s a glimpse at the rest of the kit.

LOADED FOR BEAR - With a Fairchild AR-10 rifle in hand and a polar suit draped over her pretty shoulders, KLM Dutch Airlines stewardess Johanna Van Duffelen is ready for the rigors of Arctic life. Miss Van Duffelen is posed among arctic survival kit gear carried aboard every KLM aircraft flying the polar route from Amsterdam to Tokyo. The kit consists of hundreds of itwms including sleeping bags, snowglasses, axes, snowsaws, knives, snares, fishing nets, and special rations. The rifle, designed and developed by Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation’s Armalite Division, is part of KLM’s standard survival equipment. The weapon weighs less than seven pounds, fires 20 shots per clip, either semi- or fully-automatic, and utilizes the 7.62 standard NATO cartridge.
