Operated by the 61st and 17th Troop Carrier Squadron and finally the 139th Tactical Airlift Squadron from 1975 through 1983, C-130D 57-0490 was deactivated from frontline service and moved to Chanute Air Force Base in 1986 where she served as a ground trainer airframe until 1990.

With the closure of Chanute AFB in 1993 the aircraft was donated to the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum where she remained briefly before being relocated to her former squadrons home at Stratton ANGB in 1994, where she now serves as a gate guard.
