That's scary but not as bad as a lawmaker being "fired" on in a public restroom. :smt118

This other website running the story has this picture in it.

That doesn't look like a C-130 transport, it looks more like an A-10.

Yeah, that's an A-10 for sure. Either the A-10 was an escort for the C-130 or someone at the website doesn't know their thumb from their elbow when it comes to military aircraft.
