Reminds me of the Dalebrown B52 the old dog except its a C130. Advantages of having a pylon on the ramp means they can reload GBUs without landing which is very cool.

With all the upgrades .. require new transports , be a good idea to retrofit the old Herc's as troop support missions along these lines .. not a bad idea !

Interesting to see the quiet approach to firing the 105 and the 40mms , I guessing Eglin AFB in Florida B-)
