You are correct. An MC-130E "Combat Talon I" now flown exclusively by the
711th SOS, 919th SOW, USAFR , Duke Field (Eglin Aux Fld #3), FL. The
radome holds two antennas, one terrain avoidance, and one for the terrain
following radars. The four bolts were the attachment points for the Fulton
Recovery System "whiskers" which were removed from all the aircraft in 1999.
Until recently, both the 8th SOS, 1st SOW and the 711th flew the E model.
The 8th SOS now is back at Hurlburt Field as the first operational CV-22
Squadron.

Have "several" hours in one of these myself.

Nice picture.
