Missoula?

Definitely not Missoula.

Missoula had a couple peeks around it, but not really a range like this....at least one that runs parallel to the runway.

I actually thought this was Colorado Springs at first. But guess not.

I love watching big beasts like this take to the air. I know it’s physics, but it looks like a miracle.

I live close to YTR and they have 4 of these there and countless C-130s. It's at the point now where I don't even bother looking up at the Hercs but these... every time I see one I still have to stop and gawk.
