I think they're being repurposed from the daily Khat run from Ethiopia to Djibouti.

Fellow DJ bubbas, you know what I'm talking about.
Only time I ever saw Djiboutians move fast was when the Ambouli runway needed to be cleared for the khat plane.

I wonder why the Navy is designating this the “E-130J” and not the “EC-130J”, similar to its prior TACAMO iteration. I hope it isn’t a “good idea fairy / fitrep bullet fodder” type thing 😂

EC-130J is already taken by AFSOC

The Defense Industrial Complex will tell the Navy what the designation should be . . . .

It's a good looking airplane! I'm curious what the actual livery/paint/insignia will look like!

The E-4B Command Post stands alert on the ramp outside my office from time to time. It's impressive how it's painted up. It very much speaks serious business.

New render afaik. Still kinda looks like it’s from the ps2.
I agree, I've seen better renders in Flight Sim.
Since it's now a Command and Control mission aircraft, I guess those are not drogues, but super duper secret antennas trailing behind?
