In late 1980, five stretched C-130H-30's were delivered to the TNI-AU (A-1317 through A-1321). Then in May of 1982, the airframe pictured here became the TNI-AU's sixth C-130H-30. It too got serial A-1321(2.), while the original "A-1321" (c/n 4870) became A-1341 to serve with VIP squadron 17 at Halim. All six C-130H-30 remain in service at the time of upload, while two of the six "civilian" L-100-30's transferred from Merpati and Pelita to the TNI-AU in the late 1990's were lost in accidents. A-1321 is seen here in the two tone brown camo worn by most indonesian C-130's in the early 2000's.

The Algerian AF became a C-130H operator in 1981, and received six stretched C-130H-30 and eleven standard C-130H by 1984. An 18th Hercules (c/n 5224, 7T-WHB, -30) was added to the fleet in November 1990. 7T-WHP seen here was built in 1982 and initially carried registration 7T-VHP. All Algerian AF C-130H versions now carry 7T-WH* registrations, while four new C-130J-30 ordered in 2018 are from 7T-WJA onwards. All carry Arabic titles on the left side of the fuselage, and English titles on the right hand side.
