Wing View from 36 Squadron C-130A A97-205 taxying out from Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) Base Butterworth early in the morning on 17Apr1977. RMAF F-5E FM-2207 is on the apron at left, along other F-5E fighters and another RAAF C-130A. The flight from Butterworth to Darwin (in the RAAF's First C-130) took 8.1 hours. (No 3 engine was shut down in-flight on the YPDN-YSRI leg of the trip, and we were met by RAAF firetrucks on arrival at Richmond.) A97-205 was acquired in December 1958. The 50th Anniversary is now noted on the tail of C-130H A97-008.
