This C-130H, operated by 501Esq, arrived on this Sunday in 1983 at Gilze-Rijen to pick up a military marching band that had been brought in two weeks earlier by 6803. In 2005, this aircraft was extended and became a C-130H-30, then serialled 16801. On the day I uploaded this photo in 2024, more than fourty years after I took it, I again saw 16801, this time at Eindhoven. Still going strong!
