C-130 over downtown Reno NV? 15sep07

After leaving the Reno Air Race on Saturday 15 Sep07 observed a C-130 West of KRNO and a large military helicopter also West of KRNO over downtown at approx 1800hrs. The C-130 was doing a fair amount of maneuvers and made several passes over the area about 4-5miles West of KRNO and then landed at KRNO. Anybody got an idea what was going on?

Maybe looking for Steve Fossett?

The Nevada Air National Guard flies 130s out of Carson City I believe (been a while, so I'm rusty on this part) and I believe they've even got at least one enlisted on the Fossett search.
