ChileRelleno 0 #5 January 8, 2004 Yep, seen that one back in the day. Very impressive, you can watch people being blown away (Literally), watch the bodies/parts fly. Seems like a awful lot of ordinance for some of the individuals, must have been very HVT's.

taln1rigr 0 #12 January 9, 2004 That's great Sensor footage from a AC-130 U-model "Spooky" Gunship. But, I happen to be partial to the AC-130 H-model "Spectre" Gunship as my husband was a Gunner on the Spectre Gunships for 14 years (8 yrs on the H-model & 6 yrs on the A-model ... both referred to as "Spectre" Gunships). "IF YOU AIN'T 'SPECTRE' ... YOU AIN'T SHIT!!!!" "if you ain't 'spooky' ... you ain't dooky" (hee, hee) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, the H model, which is what I believe you're referring to, no longer carries the 2 x 20mm Vulcan Cannons. Around 1998 the H-models were stripped of the 20mm because it was felt they had too short of range since the aircraft was flying at a much higher altitude to avoid people shooting at them who had longer range weapons. The newer U-models, however, carry 1 x 105 Howitzer, 1 x 40mm Bofors Cannon & 1 x 25mm Cannon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverbob 0 #19 January 9, 2004 We had a C-47 Spooky flying support for us when my camp came under siege. They orbited and dropped flares and hosed everything outside and in the wire for about 45 mins. It broke the back of the assault and allowed us to hold the camp. Those boys could not buy a beer in Nha Trang.Who Dares Wins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The US can go anywhere in the world and kick ass in anyones' name with extreme predjudice.*** Aren't they quoting a retirement date for the latest (or next?) B52 models of about 2040, 2050? If so the B52 will have been in service for about a century. What an awesome design!Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
