About 10 minutes ago I saw a plane go across 190 near Livingston... it caught my eye because it seemed to be flying pretty low. It went over the treeline before I could tell what kind of plane it was.

It was me. Just dropped of my shipment of rubber dog shite. I was warned I'd be flying it out of Hong Kong if I messed up just this much.

I don't think it was a C-130 too big. It was something else. Had the B-52 engines but it was a definitely some kind of transport vehicle

it was a AC-130 out of Stennis doing touch and go's at BTR.
Tomorrow will be C17 Globemasters arriving before VP. Pence arrives.

C-130

FYI

BTR has a 7500ft runway

C-130's can land on any runway longer than 3000 feet. Videos of their approaches are all over youtube

C-17 has the same capability but for 3500ft

that's why eyewitness accounts are normally discredited

No it was s C-17... I got a pretty good look at it from the back and had the tail of a 17.

The 17s make a very distinct noise. No other plane seems that loud at taxi.
I remember during Katrina you could tell when the globemasters were taxiing and taking off.
