Strange you mention this. My partner at work mentioned some time back that
he had seen a six engine military fly over Myrtle Beach. I said sure you
did. What he and you probably saw was a C-130. At the right distance and
angle it does appear to have six engines.

Hence my comment (in the original text not the topic) about six
nacelles rather than 6 engines.

Here's a shot taken from about the same angle but closer up than I
was, I see now that what I saw was 4 engines and two, I'm assuming,
fuel tanks. I've also seen pictures with yet another set of underwing
tanks outboard of the engines.
