The first Neptune to be converted to airtanker (in 1969). Acquired by Evergeen Helicopters circa 1980, and flown to their base at Pinal Airpark, Marana, AZ for storage. Officially registered to them as N208EV in Oct 1984, but was never painted as such. In fact the storage at Marana turned out to be permanent, and this aircraft never flew again and was eventually scrapped there.

Former USCG 1708 (still carried on the nose), one of 7 redundant HC-130Hs that were assigned to the US Forest Service in 2013 to be converted to air tankers. Instead of installing retardant tanks, the USFS only used a slip-in Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) retardant system. In August 2018 the USFS lost interest in using the Hercules as airtanker, and all seven aircraft were transferred to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). Tanker 116 is seen here at Sacramento Airport, still in full USFS livery.

Former USCG 1708 (still carried on the nose), one of 7 redundant HC-130Hs that were assigned to the US Forest Service in 2013 to be converted to air tankers. Instead of installing retardant tanks, the USFS only used a slip-in Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) retardant system. In August 2018 the USFS lost interest in using the Hercules as airtanker, and all seven aircraft were transferred to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). Tanker 116 is seen here at Sacramento Airport, still in full USFS livery.
