I knew we'd see this aircraft in amongst your uploads from DMA. Definitely belongs under cover in a museum.

What is the significance of this particular C-130?

It was awarded an honorary Purple Heart. Quite the story, it made it safely down with both wings and all four engines written off.

oh cool, it has to be heading to some museum then. I don't remember them mentioning it on the tour.
