ex 54-1636 - on the FAB grave yard

Still wears its old USAF serial 54-1636. Was on its way to Bolivia with three other C-130s. The other ones where TAM-62, 65 and 66.

This veteran Herk was delivered to the USAF in 7.57 and passed to the Fuerza Aerea Boliviana in 10.88, the oldest of 16 used by that country. Note in this shot the US serial 41636 is still carried (an FY-54 allocation, of course, so made some 55 years ago). Wfu 7.96 and remained stored at LPB with fading marks
