56-543

A few years ago I spotted C130A Model 56-543 on google earth located at Khe Sanh Combat Base Viet Nam. I was able to see it clearly at ground level and saw the tail number in the cockpit lower window. I assume it was left behind by the South Viet Namese in April of 1975. It is still there but in a different location, at the combat base.
