As already pointed out, the plane was likely an Antonov, not a C-130. Antonov is a cargo plane builder that builds planes similar to the C-130 and C-5 ... Several months ago I saw an one of the big ones (like the C-5) at MSY ... it was parked at the end of the DL terminal, which is where they seem to park large visiting cargo aircraft (USAF C-130's and the C-5 that came down with the president a few months ago for instance).
