Allocated USAF serial 65-12896. Delivered to the RAAF as A97-159 in 1966. Traded in to Lockheed as N50848 in 2000 and stored at Georgetown-Sussex County, DE. To the Pakistan Air Force as 4159 in 2005.

This was one of 28 C-130s stored at Sussex County Airport (GED) in Georgetown, Delaware. Seven were former Royal Australian Air Force and 21 former Royal Air Force. I believe they were all taken in trade by Lockheed for C-130J aircraft. Most, if not all, of the RAF aircraft were scrapped at the airport and I believe most, if not all, of the RAAF were sold and departed the field. The aircraft were parked on a disused runway that had a track installed for ejection seat testing in the 1950s and later used to store retired United Airlines Viscounts. The C-130's were gone in a few years.

Unit: 37 Sqn. A97-159 was delivered to the RAAF in August 1966. It was traded back to Lockheed in 2000 and rebuilt as a Super-E for the Pakistan Air Force.
