Many many years ago when my BIL was learning to fly (152, 172 Cessnas) they were taught to circle a towns water tower and read its name to help if they got lost.

I wish I had read this link a few days ago since it is showing military aircraft....

Yesterday, I heard a different sounding aircraft approaching the house. It was low and on an unusual heading. I ran outside to see the plane and it was a C-130 that was very low. Almost tree top height. I think there was three of them in train. I heard them heading toward us, and the first one went over the house before I started moving, the second one was out of sight behind the trees but I could clearly hear it, and I could see the third one.

Ran back inside and they were not showing up on the flight tracking website which was not a surprise since military aircraft seldom are shown.

Never seen three C-130's at once, much less flying that low. I don't think they were AC-130's but I only had seconds to see them. I figured they were C-130s but after looking at some photos, the paint scheme makes me wonder if they were MC-130s. The MC-130 has a distinctive nose but I did not have time to noticed the nose. MC-130s flying that low makes more sense than C-130s or AC-130s
