"My guess is a faulty cabin heater. I'm pretty sure they run on JP8. I suspect a few of the Desert Roos will have some 'splainin to do. They're a great bunch though."
IIRC, there is no shortage of hot air in anything with turbine-driven engines. Bleed some air off the first stage of the compressor, and there you go. I doubt that they burn anything to heat a C-130 cabin. Sure didn't when I was active duty, anyway. I've got way more time flying as a passenger in a C-130 than I want to remember.

I have enough passenger time in a c-130 to still have my ears ringing
