TC-61 is parked in front ot the viewing terrace in the rain. Reported at Riem on 10 June 1975, probably the precise date of this shot. Other Argentine Air Force C-130Hs noted at Riem were TC-65 (July 1974) and TC-66 (2 October 1975 and 4 December 1975).

 

Delivered to Argentina Air Force in November 1968, this was the first Hercules to land at Marambio Air Base on Seymour Island, Antarctica on 11 April 1970. Still going strong more than half a century later, after an extensive update carried out in the late 2010s by Fabrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) at Cordoba - Capitan Omar Gelardi (FMA / SACA) .
