This is definately NOT what I saw. I saw three distinct props on each wing, evenly spaced. Actually looked like the photoshoped C130 someone had posted, but the thing flew right over my house. Saw it about a week ago but haven't seen it since. I never go outside without my camera anymore though, haha.

This may be old information by now, but I didn't see an answer to the 6 engine turboprop cargo plane sighting. I live in central Arkansas near Jacksonville AFB the home of the C130. These things routinely fly at low altitude right over my house. Last weekend I was sitting on the deck with my wife and another batch flew over. I thought so little of it I didn't even look up until the last plane was coming over. The last plane cause a severe double-take. IT HAD SIX ENGINES! It looked just like the standard C130 but with 6 engines. No mistake. I actually commented on the sight to my wife. Not being a big plane buff, I dismissed it thinking I just didn't remember and all C130's must have six engines. The next time the C130's came over, there they were with only 4 engines just like I thought I miss-remembered. It was kind of bugging me so I started looking and can't figure out what type plane I saw. Wish I had had my camera or thought to use it. Please advise if you know anything about such an aircraft. It was not a historic plane, props were at the front of the wing, it looked identical to a standard C130, it had six props not extra tanks, and this was seen a a very low altitude of probably 2,000-3,000 feet. Clear day. Unmistakable. Please advise, BHoff
