To correct you, Sukio, I am the author of this thread. And I posted it to provoke a discussion on the doctrine and use of the AC-130, in light of more recent operations and in hopes of producing comments from those members who have served in areas where this aircraft has been used in this role. I, as a moderator, have been monitoring this discussion off and on and 03USMC beat me to it, but I certainly agree with his assessment concerning the off-topic comments by some posters. The topic of the thread is as stated : a discussion on the doctrine and use of the AC-130. Now, again, let's stick to the subject and stop the name calling and baiting and flaming comments. You all know who I am referring to and I won't mind handing out infractions the next time this happens. |

The discovery channel had a documentary on Spectre.
One of the guns used on this bird is actually from World War II era.... It is interesting, isnt it? AC-130H Spectre - Military Aircraft Factsheets : AC-130H/U Gunship : AC-130H/U Gunship http://www.tankopoly.com/his/pic/ac130e.jpg |
