• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

EP-3E Aeries II perhaps or a WP-3C Hurricane Hunter ???

Both have radomes under the fwd fuselage/nose area, and have the same engines as the C-130 with then same sound.

EP-3E Aries II or the WP-3C Hurricane Hunter would fit that description.
 
AH!! TU-95!!

I know it can't be one, but it sure fits the description.
 
With a long, thin fuselage, it could be a J model. Being in California, it may be from Channel Islands. The radome would be either the same grey as the rest of the fuselage or, if it's had a new radome, it could still be in black from the manufacturer. But not brown.
