This was the first C-130 to visit New Zealand. It was part of large contingent of aircraft from the USAF for the anniversary. The RNZAF would later buy a fleet of the workhorses and New Zealand was also a base for US Navy C-130s heading to Antarctica Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand This photo was added on 11 May 2025, and has since been viewed 116 times. |
