From the 1st SOS at Kadena?.

The J models (or at least 2 of them) of the 17th SOS at Kadena have been deployed further south.

These C-130s have four bladed propellers, refueling pods outboard of the engines, and the distinctive H variant bulbous nose, leading me to believe they are MC-130Hs. Painted green, with no visible markings, including tail number. As of nightfall yesterday, they were still flying in the local area.
