I read there was a C-130 flown over NYC today. Are you referring to that? Was it in fact an AC-130?

I can't guarantee it was, but at least one photo clearly showed equipment pods on the hips, which the AC-130 uses
-
Hmm. Yeah, just read in an
@AlexSilverman thread that the Secret Service now flies an AC-130. Guess that was it. Had to have been spooky. -
its a USAF aircraft. the secret service and the FAA coordinated the operation, whatever it was.

You wouldn't fly a gunship for a radar installation.

Not sure. I mean, NYC is under a whole new level of protection now, but still, that's a serious show of force on our soil.

It was a HC130H, long range search & rescue w/ 102d Rescue Squadron. I think the pods on the wings are fuel tanks.
-
Thanks. Was referring to the pods on the rear fuse, but that variant uses them too.
-
I spent way too much time this afternoon watching it and researching C130 models.
