At 1730 hrs via radio 395.100 ZIPPO22 of the 193rd SOW was off the deck but has never come up on ADSb. It sounds like your c-130's.

C-130 have props. Turbo props.From prop plane to C130 that's a jump.
There was MC-130J one showing earlier today out of Harrisburg buzzing around your area at 1700z but they may have come back later with
mode s off and a second tail for another turn later say 2245z. You never know with Special Ops guys like them. See them one time then next ZIPPO.. LOL

I sure didn't think it sounded like C-130s but with the mountains around me and the rain, maybe it changed the acoustics 😄.

That was FORGE80 today and they went to KMRB for T&G then returned to KMDT. 22-5989 ZIPPO21 and 21-5965 ZIPPO22 are now showing on ADSb T&G at KMDT. They have been doing a lot of low level departs. Last night Zippo71 21-5965 did the same thing and then showed up at ACY.

That #22-5989 is a new one for the 193rd SOW..Maybe breaking her in.In August was logged working test out of Marietta Ga as LAC5989.
It probably was both of them on that low level evening loop
Brought back the paradrops also to the 193SOW. Won't be too long before they head to Hurlburt Field for some advanced work.

Interesting a P-38 on there. Not one flying on the East Coast. If one of the mid west or western ones make its out that would be in itself something to see!
Here just released vid of Skycams aka JAZZ stopping by San Juan on way back from Cruzex-2024 in Brazil.
Sure is odd altrav mission callsign like you said... Pic of soon to be extinct banana Spirit Airline

With the new props on the C-130’s (6 bladed and 8 bladed props) the “ole herk” just does not sound the same going overhead!
Working on them over 20+ years they just do not sound the same. In the past I could be out working in the yard and hear the familiar “drone” of the herk going overhead. Not anymore, I can lookup and see the “Herk” then run inside to check ADSB exchange or Flight Radar 24 to verify my visual sighting.
