The C130 has been used in many roles including as an AWACS. But why hasn't it been used in the anti-submarine role?

Yes, something like that.

Probably been on the drawing board but never considered. Lockheed for some reason always preferred the P3 (earlier P2 Neptunes) over the C130 in this role. And now Boeing has taken over with their P8s

If I remember correctly the drug lord Carlos Lehder wanted to acquire some Harrier jump jets to protect his operations in the Carribbean

what kind of plane might be flying?

• You cant hear it but can see its blinking lights
• how high it might be flying
• And no data on flightradar24

Why don't BVR missiles have folding wings like on standoff bombs? Won't the resultant extra lift increase the flight time of the missile?
