    A military C-130 Hercules aircraft assigned to the Air Force Reserve's 302d Airlift Wing is discharging a high-pressure water or retardant stream from its rear cargo area onto the tarmac. The aircraft bears tail number 47315 and a large orange number '5' on its vertical stabilizer, consistent with aerial firefighting configuration.
