It's the old MAC (Military Airlift Command) combo.

Looking at a few MAC aircraft, I don't see much of a pattern. I think
Southern Air is more likely.  However, a clue may be the thin stripe
on the fuel tank.

Looking at the plane at Base Camp, it seems to have some defects in
the paint. That's what's happens when you have Earl Shibe paint your
C-130.

No, not today's MAC, but back in the sixties (late) and seventies, this was their colors also some older Congressional and Senate junket planes were also this color "executive". There was a few Learjet's at Eglin that the brass used to go down to McDill or Gitmo and Nellis. Odd thing all the "Support" people for these aircraft wore black uni's or civvies. Most all now are colored ghost grey.
