I thought that the aircraft was a C-130 Hercules, and upon magnification, I can confirm this workhorse of an aircraft is, in fact, a C-130. Looks like Las Vegas, Nevada, and most likely operating out of Nellis AFB. It could be part of a RED FLAG exercise. Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. Fighter pilots refer to them as trash haulers. I see it as an elevator to heavenly pursuits. YMMV

Thanks to the taxpayers, I made dozens of static line jumps and hundreds of freefall jumps out of this beautiful and massively functional aircraft, not to mention the hundreds of hours riding around the country and the globe inside this hunk a hunk a hunk of burning love!

That was this afternoon, in Reno, where those crews had also apparently
left from earlier in the day. All 4 aircraft appeared to be C-130s.

(Loving that security camera... It’s over 6 miles to that control tower.)

I love the C-130. An aviation masterpiece.
