One of the two Lockheed KC-130H of the Brazilian Air Force. With the retirement of the Boeing 707 KC-137, these aircraft became the only tanker aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force. Currently studying the possibility of acquiring two or three Boeing 767 to be converted into tankers until the entry into service of the new KC-390, designed by Embraer.
The two KC-130H are in service with the 1st Squadron of the 1st Transport Group, based in Gaećo AFB. Full report and pictures can be seen at the link below:
