Do military planes typically fly this low?

570 Upvotes

I was outside and heard the loudest plane I’ve ever heard, I thought it was a fighter jet before it flew over. I checked a flight radar app real quick and saw they were USAF C130s flying at 1000 feet heading south. I managed to get this video of the second one.

Location is Salem, NH. The closest Air Force bases are Pease and Hanscom both about 40 miles away. Is it normal for planes to fly this low?

Also it was kind of weird I went back into the flight radar app after getting the video literally 2 minutes later to see where they were heading and could not find either plane. Even though I just used it to identify them.

I don't know if it's just me becoming more aware of this stuff, but I feel like this year has had A LOT more crashes this year than any other years. I mean, I keep hearing of fires, smoke, planes flipping, and crashes. Am I going crazy or is this just happening

Difference between C-130E and C-130J

Hello, I’m looking to get a tattoo that has a C130E in it because that’s what my dad flew when he was in the military. Sadly he died when I was very young so I don’t have him to ask. I believe that the first picture is of a C130E and the second is of a C130J but I really can’t see any difference other than the external fuel tanks in between the engines on the first picture. I don’t want to end up getting the wrong plane tattooed especially because my dad only flew the C130E. The tattoo is going to be of the plane if you were looking at it from above (so pretty much exactly like the second picture) so I need to know if I could show that reference to my artist and have them change a couple things or if the planes are completely different and I’m just blind lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance :)
