Now, where is the C130
From a pilot's point of view, the C130 would be on downwind ahead of me, directly abeam the approach end, simple stuff.

I've arrived at several facilities that told me that I was cleared for the visual approach RWxx, report downwind abeam. In this case I reported on downwind abeam the center of the runway, I believe this is a fairly common instruction throughout the world.
