Military Plane Leaving AF Plant 42

Palmdale, California (CA), US

Can anyone ID the plane type? It's a 4-engine propeller plane, probably military considering the Airport.

If you live close to this base be very very careful of how close you get especially with camcorders, cameras, etc will be bad they are watching any and all movement outside the perimeter and will result in loss of your equipment. I know you guys are probably thinking that I'm some weirdo please believe me that this base is highly secretive on what they are doing and do not want civilians to know what is going on. I am in the military I won't get into any detail about me but I have lots of information of what is going inside this base

Of course, then again, they also invite anyone in the public up to the plant's front gate to take pictures ...
