You are not familiar with that famous English city of Marietta,
Georgia? :-)

Of course, Joseph DID note "ex US 64-13024 C-130K.", As I understand
it , the "K" model is the RAF version of the H and first flew on 19
October 1966. Does that mean the USAF number is because it was from
the Foreign Military Sales program and they are assigned US serial
nos?

The RAF purchased their Hercs through the USAF system, often there
will be a US serial assigned to aircraft ordered and sent directly to
foreign operators.

Does appear that the serial should be 65-13024, though - from Joe
Baugher's serials site (http://www.joebaugher.com) :

"C-130K 65-13024 (c/n 4195, XV179) modified for special forces support
duties. Crashed due to ground fire near Al Teji, Iraq Jan 30, 2005.
10 onboard killed."

Ow.

Err, it rings no bells, but then I don't know a lot about ex-Russian
controlled states!

Hmm, could well have flown in that one, back in the dim distant 60s.

Your right, the US seriel # should read 65-13024. Joe.
