    It appears to me they're taking off with 20 second spacing, Ready.

    I don't know for sure, Tordillo. I'll bet Tex can tell us the answers to both of those questions, though.

    The tail letters are DM, so it's from the 355th Wing out of Davis-Monthan. According to my Googling, they fly C-130H Compass Calls, which is pretty interesting. So, I think that is a "H", which are pretty rare and appear to be bad-ass electronics attack platforms.

    Edit: Emmy answered it before I could send this - thanks, Emmy. We don't need Tex for this, anyhow.
