Maybe. But I am pretty sure that certain marks of C-130 can be fitted with the MAFFS or MAFFS2 kit and then become water bombers. (The water comes out of the paratroops' jump doors). I don't know the cost of this add-on, but it must make pressing some Hercules into water bombing as needed relatively cheap.
