...are C130 J's different from the "older" C130's....?

Recently, for some reason, I have three "older" C130's passing over my house every morning and returning every night... ;D...!
(Goodness knows where they go to)...?
Fantastic sight and sound.
All my neighbours race out into their gardens to watch them... 8)...!
There doesn't seem to be any problems with them... ::)...!

Cheers all... ;D...!

P.S. ..did someone mention "Lockheed Martin"... ::)....?
LOL...!

PS: I heard they're going to set up defilade positions on the next Damsel Drop! :D

PPS: Imagine the guy who has to set up a perimeter around the dressing room! ;D
