The aircraft also had the distinction of having the second most number of hours flown, 27,533, in the C-130 fleet.

It began life as an ordinary C-130E before being converted into an EC-130C Airborne Command and Control Center. A final third modification lead to its eventual role as a HC-130P Combat King.
