USAF serial 84-0479. The fine Herc was written off after it suffered substantial damage in an accident upon landing at Saint Paul Island (AK) on 28 June 2006. The Herc was carrying a 5,000 gallon fuel truck while on a supply run to the LORAN station. At runway 36, the aircraft fish tailed twice and the right hand wing tip hit the ground and was ripped off, just outboard of the no.4 engine. The no. 4 propeller separated and the aircraft went off the side of the runway. The aircraft also received extensive damage to the underside of the fuselage. It was written off.
