Low flyover

We are in a flight path and get to see various aircraft. It's awesome to step out on my deck and watch them on a regular basis. There were two today and I managed to grab a pic of both.

C-130 and it looks to be a stretched J-30 model and with the Orange on the tail it comes from Little Rock.
Nice camper.
Herky-birds! I've seen a lot of them at a distance but didn't realize how big they were until learning to load retardant in the fire-fighting variants many years ago. What an impressive aircraft.
Actually two campers. Large one has two slides and is 36 feet long. Smaller one has no slides and is 26 feet long. I'm Goldilocks. One is too big, one is too small. Gotta sell them and get one that is just right. 😆
Wasn't sure if they were flying out of LRAFB or Whiteman. The Stealth does flyover here as well if you are lucky enough to spot it. Brother has seen it.
I live in the flight path of Seymour Johnson AirForce Base . Over the years i have seen just about everything they have in their inventory . The small commercial strip i used to work at has a 1 mile runway .They get Ospreys from camp Legeune on a regular basis .Even saw a Harrier there once .
In 2010, we were working in a campground along the Arkansas River in Colorado. On a fairly regular basis, C-130's and Chinooks would slip between the "Fourteeners" of the Continental Divide and drop into the river valley while practicing for flying in the mountains of the Middle East. They were low and slow enough that we could easily see the crewmen.
C130's make a lot of touch and go flights here in Texarkana, AR out of LRAFB. Usually circle right over my place to line up with the main runway.
C-17 flyover here yesterday.
A big ugly beautiful bird.
