Only time I ever saw Djiboutians move fast was when the Ambouli runway needed to be cleared for the khat plane.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.

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 thingFrom NAVAIR public affairs:

Probably like most VQ special mission aircraft: non-descript white & greyIt's a good looking airplane! I'm curious what the actual livery/paint/insignia will look like!
I agree, I've seen better renders in Flight Sim.New render afaik. Still kinda looks like it’s from the ps2.
Drogue is just a part of the antenna; consider it the fletching on an arrow!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?
