    Default Different color C130 flying into Buckley

    Hey has anyone seen that two tone C130 flying into Buckley recently? It is half white half black or navy blue. It is not OD green like the majority of them. I back to Chambers close to Yale and have seen it fly over three times in the past couple weeks.

    It might just be an Air Force C130 but with all the stories (conspiracy theories) of UN people on the ground around the US and (fact) Barry flying Ebola patients into the US I was curious as to who the plane belongs to and what markings it has. Most AF planes are all one shade of blue. I was wondering if anyone close to Buckley AFB can see it on the runway.

    There are a couple threads on this already. It is an extensive air quality testing going on.

    I assume it is not the Blue Angels C-130 with the mid yellow stripe and yellow nose cone? That hing is impressive.

    It's the black C-5s that fly the pallet loads of gold to other countries, not C-130s.

    Saw it fly low over Chambers and Hampden on Saturday. Was in a park and everyone stopped what they were doing and watched it fly over.

    Not the most fuel efficient aircraft to use to test air quality. Kind of like using a mac truck to spread the word about car pooling. Wonder if they are shutting down an engine or two at times?

    That's one of the few things I miss about living in GA, it was a constant airshow. Between the 130Js I was building, the final months of the F22 program, and the ramp up of the C5M program. There was always something in the air.

    I got got a real sense of pride every time one of those big bastards buzzed my house.
