I see the same thing almost daily in Florida, but it's a Beech Bonanza V-tail buzzing an area of residences. Maybe it's to announce an arrival, with a 30-minute drive from the nearest airport. A "Make me a sandwich" buzzing?
I suspect the C-130 pilot knows somebody in Center Harbor, and is buzzing them—partly "legally".
It was either Monday or Tuesday when I heard a C-130. He was flying low over Mirror Lake. Distinctive sounds—coming and going.
First flown in 1954, 2,500 had been built by 2015. (Wikipedia)
Here's what a C-130 Hercules looks like on the ground. (Photo courtesy of FlightAware):
