Those would be the “A” models. Those were sold off to other countries years ago and I doubt if any are still flying.
The Current C130 inventory are “E”, “H”, and “J” models. Our “J” models were built in the 2000s.
The B-52s in service were built in the 50’s and 60’s.
HOWEVER, the C130 does have the longest aircraft production run in the US inventory.
