Parked in a terrible grey winter weather at the platform of Schiphol. This C-130E, former USAF (serial 63-843) 438th Military Airlift Wing and 516th Tactical Airlift Wing, was delivered to the IDF/AF in Oct'73. It received serial 312 (with connected registration 4X-FBJ). It became serial 305 in the late 1980s. 305 was assigned to the Israeli Tactical Transport Division. That division commands the 103 Tayeset "The Elephants Squadron" and the 131 Tayeset "The Knights of the Yellow Bird Squadron". Both squadrons pick their a/c from a poule. 305 was last reported ops in 2008. Most likely retired.

Later sold to Greece as 401

Most probably delivered to the French Air Force in late 1988, stored Chateaudun from February 2013 onwards. Moved for preservation to Bordeaux Merignac Museum in mid-2020. Seen here at the flightline of Souda while deployed for Operation Unified Protector.

This Rafale B was transferred to Greece in July 2021 as Rafale BG 401.

In the last half year of operations of Dutch Navy Orions, P-3C 305 is pictured taxiing out at Hato, for another mission in support of the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard. The aircraft were all retired early 2005.

Delivered in June 1971. Became N84899 in June 1984. On 22 Nov 1989 the aircraft was doing a pre-delivery test flight at Luqa (Malta) when the port main gear failed to lower. The aircraft was slightly damaged in the ensuing landing. N84899 was then repaired and departed Luqa on delivery to Liberia on 15 December 1989. Its N-registration was cancelled on 18 January 1990. The aircraft was written off in December 1992 during the civil war in Liberia.

Last livery as worn on the Royal Netherlands Navy P-3C before its retirement in 2005. Seen here at Hato in Summer 2004.
