Between June 2011 and July 2019, Jordanian International Air Cargo operated the only two IL-76MF built beside a prototype, which first flew in 1995. Compared to the standard IL-76, the MF has been stretched by 6.6 meters (two inserts of 3.3 meters each). JIAC was founded in 2004 and is fully owned by the Royal Jordanian AF. The 2nd Jordanian IL-76MF was registered JY-JIC / 360 and both have been sold to the Egypt AF in July of 2019, becoming SU-BTX/1331 & SU-BTY/1332. JY-JID / 361 shown here during Anatolian Eagle 2016 was chartered by the Royal Saudi AF to transport RSAF Tornado ground equipment.

Turkey became a Hercules operator in 1964, receiving five new C-130E's which were later supplemented by three more of the same version. Then in 1991/92, Turkey received six 2nd hand surplus C-130B from the USAF, among them 57-0527 pictured here during exercise Anatolian Eagle 2016. Having been manufactured in 1958, 57-0527 is the oldest C-130 the TuAF ever operated. As from 2010, the TuAF also received six C-130E's from the Royal Saudi AF, bringing the total number of C-130 operated by Turkey to 20. The 19 remaining airframes have recently undergone a life extension program known as ERCIYES.

The Pakistan AF became a Hercules operator in 1962 and since then has operated no less than 34 Herks of different variants, most of them sourced 2nd hand from the Air Forces of Iran, the US, Australia and lately Belgium. 4159 pictured here is a 1966 built airframe which served with the RAAF as A97-159 before being transferred to Pakistan in December of 2005. Five more ex RAAF followed (4171, 4171, 4178, 4180 and 4189). In Pakistan, the C-130 construction numbers are equal to the serial worn on the vertical fin.
