Unfortunately I don't have a source, I copied this from another board.

On June 21 VMGR-352 retired the oldest C-130 in the Naval Inventory.
It was also the oldest active duty C-130 in the US military.
Aircraft "572," served the Navy and Marine Corps for over 42 years, before it was retired.
It was delivered to the USMC in 1962.

Lockheed constructors number: 3554
US Navy BUNO: 147572
Designation: KC130F (original designation: GV-1)
Last operator: USMC VMGR-352, MCAS Miramar, Ca.
