C-130E 62-1828 had fake "MAC" (Military Airlift Command) titles on the
vertical tail. This specialised ELINT aircraft, nearly indistinguishable
from a stock C-130E, was based at Rhein-Main. In 1975, the 7405th Support
Squadron became the 7405th Operations Squadron and moved to that new base.
The wire antenna running from the very top of the vertical tail seems to
be a non standard equipment. Other antennas can be found on stock C-130E.
