On Oct 20, 2017 six engine turboprop with a fuselage shape similar to a C-17 or large C-130 went right over me at St. Pete Beach on low final approach to Ellis AFB, Tampa FL. I'm a Naval Air Vet with 8 yrs P-3B and P-3C 4 engine turboprop experience and there was no mistaking this big boy had 6 turboprops. The engine nacelles appeared to be shiney rather than painted grey which makes me wonder if this were a visiting foreign military aircraft.
