It is a training and aerobatic plane.
When I was working in Paraguay, I got my boss, a USAF Colonel who was a C-141 driver a check ride in one, I think he injured himself grinning. It was a week or more before the smile wore off. He kept saying something about the fact that it gained 1000' in a loop.
Agreed, not really an attack plane or a bomber, in the modern version of the word, though seeing the Russian AF Bears up again was pretty funny as well. Maybe we should put some guns on C-130s for intercepting and taking them down.
