Is it me, or is it squatting down in the last (recent) picture?

The last photo is a "Super Gooney" (C-117) with different engines than the Gooney (C-47, DC-3) and larger tail. Notice the intake under the engine. You can see the C-117D at PASM at: http://www.pimaair.org/collection-detail.php?cid=82

Below is one of my photos of the C-117D at  PASM
