Even though I have never flown in either of said military planes, in theory I agree, what with all that vibration coming from the 4 turboprop engines on the C-130.

First shot is just *drool*. Wink

The prop job is a Piper PA-34 Seneca, the cigar tube is an Airbus possibly an A330?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

No, look at the engine nacelles. They're the wrong shape for an A330.

I don't know what it is. plus it's wearing a completely white livery - no airline markings as far as I can see. Huh

Quite odd.

It's almost certainly a boeing 767, probably one of fed-ex's that are waiting for repainting.

I agree, for one they dont take as long, and for two the pilots seem to think they are flying fighters when they fly the C17, I have never felt so many G's during a plane ride...C-130's just drone on and on and on...
