Although wearing a Tactical Air Command badge on the fin, the aircraft was actually operated by the Pennsylvania air national guard. This is actually an EC-130E(CS), or Coronet Solo, aircraft. The River Rider program did not come into existence until 1991, and the aircraft were modified with notably different electronics. This aircraft was assigned to the 193rd Special Operations Sq., 193rd Tactical Electronic Warfare Group, Pennsylvannia ANG, which was operationally attached to the Tactical Air Command at the time, hence the TAC badge on the tail. The aircraft was first modified for the Comfy Levi mission (which later became Senior Scout) before modification for the Coronet Solo mission.
