Hey I work at the Futureshop nearby the Windsor Airport... customers had come in to buy video cam's mentioning that some military jet was flying over, dropping material down to the tarmac?

Any ideas who, or what it was?

All I know is that it was a C-130 not sure if it was CAF or US though. My dad said he saw it do several low approaches and drop either paratroopers or materials at the airport.

Nope, it was definetly a C-130, my dad was near the airport when it came in around 10:30. Unless a C-17 came in after the C-130 but I highly doubt it.
