It was a KC-130 of VMGR-452 from Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, N.Y. on a flight out of Cherry Point N.C. to headed to Naval Air Facility El Centro in California. It was transporting personnel and equipment, the Reserve said in a statement. and was transferring both personnel and equipment.
