I've noticed on a few lists including live-mode-s.info that hex AE2239
shows up as HC-144A/C-130E or CN35/C30E. At 2045Z, he just flew over
the house to land at NAS Oceana and I can confirm it is definitely NOT
a Casa CN35/HC-144A like the Coast Guard has been using. Quite
possibly a Hurlburt bird with the dark grey paint scheme....guessing a
MC-130J? It had a typical C-130 nose on it, unlike some of the other
spec ops do.

Couldn't read the tail number due to the paint scheme and one of the
prisms in my binoculars being messed up. Calling into Oceana approach
using callsign FLIP11.

Shoulda grabbed the camera....shoot!
