That picture on the link to the story is not a C-130. It is a C-17. The C-130 is a 4 engine turboprop. The C-17 is a 4 engine jet that can haul oversize and outsize cargo.

From the video, we can clearly see that these were C-130s.

Also, from the green strip and wording on its tail, the C-17 in the picture is from McChord. They just used a file picture when they wrote this story. Whoever wrote it knew very little about mobility aircraft or the military.

C-130

C-17

Did you watch the video linked at thiis wretched crappy Inquistr site?

The photo I referred to shows two pallet loaded Hums on trailers waiting to be loaded on a C130 with an RS tailcode.

This Incompetent site was torture with endless download fails and reloading.
