Largest? Oh, there are larger. The C-130 really isn't that big. Of course, I flew KC-135's, and on the ramp at Dyess AFB back in the '80's, side by side with the Herky Birds, those -130's looked pretty small. :) Check out Russian military aircraft if you want to see some BIG honkers with props.

I've seen pictures of the russian birds, in fact I watched one fly over us in the Indian Ocean once. (F-14's under and behind it.) I used to work on E-2C's and had friends in P-3's. These days I often find myself on Dash 8 commuter flights, which remind me a lot of E-2's I used to crawl around in.

One of my best fiends from high school flies KC-135's. That poor boy has been almost continuously deployed for the last 12 years. The only break he seems to get is when he goes back stateside for training.
