No joy on radio, don't see any tankers via ADSB and most of the time seeing tankers won't I see what is being refueled. Is it possible to tell by tail number if this is a rare 130 tanker? The flight path and alt suggest perhaps. Ty happy listening

That was VADER 82 a C-130J out of Youngstown Warren Municipal Airport. He landed at Grissom, & is now heading for home. The Marine KC-130's have the refueling capability. I'm not sure if you can put one of those refueling pods on a regular C-130..
There's a USAF HC-130J / COMBAT KING that can refuel other helicopters & some aircraft.
