Please help ID this aircraft.

Hi all, could anyone please help to ID this aircraft. I thought it was a C-130 but the front isn't quite the same.

Thanks for your reply, I've refreshed the page several times, even left the site and came back and I can see the image each time. :confused:

If anyone else sees only a red x please let me know

Yup, a very elegant red cross in a box. You're probably linking to a photo on your hard drive. That'd be why the rest of the world can't see it and you can.
