Good catch Luke. I hadn't appreciated the T version until I saw your post. Can anyone explain - are those just new props, or new engines too...?

Nice catch

The C-130T has been around for years with the Navy and USMC but I don't know what the (T) means.

They needed new engines for modernization plus there was a very serious crash a few years ago caused by corrosion in the old props.

VR-64 used to be VP-64 with P-3 - a slight change of mission!
