There are multiple variants of the C-130 and if the DoD's love for this airframe continues there will likely be many more:
If you see this aircraft in your location it's there to help put out a fire:

If you see this variant in your location it's there to listen in on what's happening and then jam specific signals (have your tinfoil hats at the ready!):

If you see this variant flying around in a circle and you seem to be in the middle of that circle, you're about to have a bad day...

When you see a C-130 making a low pass and/or troops jumping out, it's training for a mission elsewhere. Train like your fight and fight like you train! Enjoy the sights and sounds of freedom!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Thanks MEI! We drove by and saw them. Didn't stop for pix as we had a number of kids and didn't want to be right on the hiway. Thanks for mentioning where they are.
