Odd C-130 sensor?

Hi,

during a news report from the current situation at Haiti, my wife spotted some aircraft with an odd protrusion at the nose. She describes it as a slab-like structure, almost as wide as the fuselage and about as high as one would expect the weather radome to be. Edges slighly rounded.

She described the aircraft as an four-engined turboprop and identified a C-130 from pictures.

I didn't watch the report, but I am really curious now.

Does anyone have an idea?

Best regards,
Volker
 
Hi,

seems like it's an MC-130P. She positvely identified a few of those:

Now I realize why she wondered about the nose section.

Thanks for the quick reply, Obio!

Best regards,
Volker
