A Dutch C-130H at homebase Eindhoven. The G-781 was originally built as a EC-130Q for the US Navy. It once flew with VQ-4, after US Navy retirement the Hercules was placed in storage at AMARC as 2G0013 in april 1991. The Dutch government selected the airframe in 2005 and transported it to Marshalls in Cambridge (UK) by June 2006 for conversion to transport aircraft and C-130H-standandard. The C-130H was delivered to the KLu on 15 July 2010 and was baptized Bob van der Stok in November 2010. G-781 received an commemorative tail to celebrate 25 years of Hercules operations in Dutch service.
