This Herc was test flown from the manufacturers plant at Marietta (GA) on 5 March 2012. It was delivered to the USAF on 4 April 2012. First assigned to the 39th AS of the 317th AW at Dyess AFB (TX) but transferred to the 37th AS at Ramstein from mid-2021. It was present at Eindhoven air base for the next week's Falcon Leap exercise and the Market Garden commemorative flight. The USA flag on its tail was rubbed out.
