A couple of years ago, I heard a plane and thought "that sounds exactly like an Orion". I was wrong; it was a C-130. Both types fly on 4 Allison T-56 turboprop engines. | |

| Aug 20, 2023 at 21:09 | comment | added | Mateo | @RalphJ I was wondering if you could tell what type of engine is being used, like turbofans or turbojets | |
