I just heard on the air-to-air scanner the callsign "Tornado 5 Heavy" near DEN. Doen anyone have a clue to who this is or what type of aircraft this is?

On your deathbed you'll receive total consiousness- so I've got that going for me.

I think it's from the Air Force (C-130). Not sure though

After more checking and listening to the pilot's voice again, he may have been saying "Dahl 2805 Heavy". He has a very heavy accent.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Nope, a C130 isn't a "HEAVY" so that wouldn't be it!

I thought the C-130 was classified as a "heavy" along with the 757..

I thought heavies were 747,767,777 and then A330, A340, and isn't it heavy heavy for the A380.
