Hi,

Is there anybody on here that is in or was in the USAF? basically there's a man in Germany that I play Warcraft with and one day on discord he told me that his dad used to be in the USAF way back in the day and that he used to work on blackbirds. When he told me that, I automatically thought the SR-71 blackbird; However, asking about this again at a much later date I was talking to him about it and showed him a picture of an SR-71 and he said that the 'blackbirds' his dad worked on were completely different! after a back and forth debate about the fact that the SR-71 is called the blackbird, he later phoned his father up and confirm what it was he actually worked on and he confirmed that it was C-130's that were called blackbirds! I said it cant be because I cannot find ANYTHING online about any C-130's being called blackbirds!

Is anyone that used to be in or is in the USAF that can give me some insight into whether or not there were C-130's designated as blackbirds?
