The EC-130 is the Commando Solo or Compass Call electronic warfare versions of the C-130 transport. The Commando Solo version conducts PSYOPS missions by broadcasting in standard AM, FM, HF, TV and military communications bands. The Compass Call has mega-jammers designed to disrupt enemy communications. The aircraft are easily distinguishable by large wing and tail mounted pods and/or blade antennae. The UV-18 is the mil version of the DHC-6 Twin Otter. It's basically a go-anywhere light-medium utility aircraft with STOL capabilities. Links to pics below...
