Nope! You’re right. It’s a C-130 model H or earlier. Not from the latest Js with turboprops and six bladed propellers.
You're correct. An easy way to tell the difference from a distance is the tail configuration -- the A400 has a "T tail" with the tailplane mounted on the top of the fin.

Well I'll go get in that old vet's face and tell him he WRONG!
Actually that might have been a separate plane.

I thought this was a C-130 doing touch and go's here yesterday but someone more knowledgeable than me says it is a Airbus A-400M.





What flag is on the tail Matt?

Air Force Reserve,
I think the red 5s indicate it's being used for wild fire tanker duties.

Exactly! It carries the MAFFS system for firefighting.

MAFFS :: System

If you google MAFFS you’ll see the exact same plane in action photos.
