A VNAF C-130A of the 437th Transport Squadron, 53rd Tactical Wing, Tan Son Nhut AB. With the 435th Transport Squadron, the two squadrons equipped with Hercules were fully mobilised by early 1975 despite maintenance problems. In addition to being involved in various transport missions, they were also used as makeshift bombers. This particular aircraft would be destroyed at Tan Son Nhut on 29 April 1975 by North Vietnamese artillery. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
