Anyone know which models and serial numbers and who received 5754 and 5762
Thanks
Bob
Also are either of both of the Israeli Herks 5723 and 5742 KC's?

Just found the answer to one question 12-5762 is an MC-130J at 17 SOS

As PerfManJ pointed out the Israeli Herks are -30's, but they are UARRSI equipped. (Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation).

5776 HC/MC-130J USAF
5777 HC/MC-130J USAF
5778 HC/MC-130J USAF
5779 KC-130J Saudi Arabia

5782 HC/MC-130J USAF

5786 C-130J-30 USAF
5787 HC/MC-130J USAF

I don't know if HC or MC. They roll down the line under the same code.
