First up is the "yes, dammit, this plane was at Base Camp" photograph.
If you are familiar with the base, you know the plane was there. For a
facility that does not want to attract attention, this is a mighty big

Though this is a civilian version of the C-130, it has a military tail
number, not a N-number. The color scheme is similar to that used by Southern Air Transport. Technically this is
a L-328G, not a C-130. The tail number doesn't appear in any of the
usual military databases.
For the lump and bump fanatics, here is a close-up of the top of the
plane:
