This C-130 was delivered to the USAF in 2016 as MC-130J but immediately after delivery converted to AC-130J. It is seen here in 2017 taking off from Andrews during the airshow (but not as part of the show), while operated by 1st SOG det. 2 at Hurlburt Field. Since 2018, this Ghostrider gunship is operated by the 73rd SOS, which was reactived at Hurlburt Field on 23 February 2018.
