CRUZEX 2024 saw the participation of several Tankers from South American Air Forces, among them this KC-130H from Argentina. Of the 17 Argentinian AF C-130/L-100 Hercules operated over the years, only two are tankers (TC-69 and TC-70). The pair was also the last of an initial batch of ten (TC-61 to TC-70) delivered new to Argentina between November 1968 and May 1979. A civilian L-100-30 (TC-100) joined the fleet in late 1998, while five 2nd hand C-130B's (TC-56 to TC-60) were obtained from the USAF as from 1994. The 17th a/c, also an ex USAF C-130H, became "TC-60" (2.) in June 2023.

Argentina sent this KC-130H to Brazil to participate in exercise Cruzex 2024. It is seen here taking off from Natal AB.
