The one on their website is an A-model. The Herks with smaller externals outboard of the engine nacelles are A-models. Curiously, their website seeks pilots with C-130J experience...

My remark about which model they fly is based on what I know about IAR, not the pictures. They also do firefighting support and oil spill response for spraying.
Snow & Cherry also fly A-models. In fact, with the exception of the companies like Lynden & Tepper, pretty much the only C-130s in civilian hands are A-models. The flyable L100/L382 are all being used...for the most part.

They primarily do oil spill response and sit ready in whales and Singapore I think. A friend flies for them. They are based in Phoenix at gateway. Not much flying...more like getting paid for what you can do, not what you are doing......so kind of like a firefighter.

IAR formerly was T&G aviation, and held fire contracts in several aircraft types. They are no longer carded for fire, and the C-130A's won't see fire again.
T&G's aircraft get used for movies, for some special drop work (more recently some drop tests for the space-x capsule), and have contracts for oil dispersal operations in the Gulf. One aircraft is based overseas.
The C-130A aircraft that are in use with IAR are former air tankers, and will not be allowed back in the field to fight fire.
