The aircraft, being inactivated, was named "Patches" for the more than 1,000 hit-hole patches that it received during the Vietnam conflict. The 34 UC-123Ks were C-123Ks converted for Ranch Hand defoliation missions. The C-123 56-4362 is today preserved at the National Museum of the USAF at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio (USA).
