A U.S. Air Force Lockheed Martin MC-130J Commando II is photographed air-to-air during USAFE Days 2023. Shown from a head-on perspective, the special operations variant of the C-130J Hercules is operated by U.S. Air Forces in Europe. The aircraft is designed for infiltration, exfiltration, resupply, and aerial refueling missions. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3 turboprop engines driving six-bladed composite propellers, with terrain-following radar, defensive systems, and a reinforced airframe for low-level flight.
