Driving northward past Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, and coming straight
at
us on final southerly approach, a C-130. Unknown if just a cargo carrier,
or a Spooky, but one big fat slow beautiful airplane. My wife saw it
first
and quipped, "What the hell is that?" It takes a lot to get her
attention. I just said it was a weapons platform that you would not want
looking for you.

I once actually saw a C-130 backing up under its own power.

Cheers!
