Built for the Brazilian Air Force as SC-130E 2459 in 1969. Fitted with a large window on each side of the fuselage and opening in the floor to operate cameras for SAR/reconnaissance. Converted to a normal cargo version in 1987 after being replaced by an R-35A Learjet. Retained the large window which is visible in the photo. Withdrawn from use in 2016. Preserved at the Fazenda Gamela Resort, Cantagalo, RJ. This photo is copyright © Paul Seymour, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
